NAME

|
----
|
|
startfluxbox - start a fluxbox session
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*startfluxbox*
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
*startfluxbox* is a script which runs the file *~/.fluxbox/startup* If it
|
|
doesn't exist it will be generated.
|
|
|
|
*startfluxbox* should be started from your *\~/.xinitrc* if you use startx, or
|
|
*~/.xsession* if you run a display manager, like xdm.
|
|
|
|
FILES
|
|
-----
|
|
*~/.fluxbox/startup*::
|
|
This file contains all commands that should be executed before fluxbox is
|
|
started. The initial file contains helpful comments for beginners. It also
|
|
starts fluxbox.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
The default *~/.fluxbox/startup* is as follows:
|
|
....
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
#
|
|
# fluxbox startup-script:
|
|
#
|
|
# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
|
|
|
|
# Change your keymap:
|
|
xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
|
|
|
|
# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
|
|
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
|
|
#
|
|
# unclutter -idle 2 &
|
|
# wmnd &
|
|
# wmsmixer -w &
|
|
# idesk &
|
|
|
|
# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
|
|
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
|
|
|
|
exec fluxbox
|
|
# or if you want to keep a log:
|
|
# exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the *exec
|
|
fluxbox* line above to something like this:
|
|
....
|
|
exec fluxbox &
|
|
fbpid=$!
|
|
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
{
|
|
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black &
|
|
ipager &
|
|
gkrellm2 &
|
|
} &
|
|
|
|
wait $fbpid
|
|
....
|
|
So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after
|
|
giving fluxbox 1 second to startup.
|
|
|
|
For more details on what else you can do in this script, see *sh(1)*, or the
|
|
documentation for your shell.
