NAME

     prayer-session -- Prayer user session backend daemon

SYNOPSIS

     prayer-session [--config-file file] [[--config-option name=value] ...] [--foreground]

DESCRIPTION

     prayer-session is the backend process in the Prayer Webmail system. A fresh prayer-session backend is forked off whenever a user logs in.

     This process contains all of the permanent state associated with that login session including one or more connections to a IMAP server and
     possibly connections to accountd servers. prayer-session communicates with the user using HTML over HTTP connections via the prayer(8) proxy.
     Each login has a session ID that the front end processes use to find the correct backend.

     Backend server processes move into a dormant state after a certain period of inactivity, shutting down IMAP and accountd connections which
     can be easily resuscitated when the session wakes up. After a long period of inactivity, typically several hours the session process shuts
     down.

     prayer-session accepts the following command-line options:

     --config-file file
	     Reads configuration from file instead of the default /etc/prayer/prayer.cf.

     --config-option name=value
	     Sets (overrides) the configuration option name to value.  Any number of options can be specified in this manner.

     --foreground
	     Debug mode. Run a single process in the foreground.

ENVIRONMENT

     PRAYER_CONFIG_FILE
	     Can be set to specify the configuration file to use. The --config-file option takes precedence over this variable.

     PRAYER_HOSTNAME
	     Local hostname. Overrides the hostname setting in the configuration file as well as on the command line.

FILES

     /usr/local/prayer/etc/prayer.cf
	     Default configuration file.

     /usr/local/prayer/templates/
	     Location of standard templates. The templates are compiled into prayer-session for performance reasons, so the template files are
	     actually not used, but they are available for customization.

GNOME-SESSION(1)					      General Commands Manual						  GNOME-SESSION(1)

NAME

       gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-session [--autostart=DIR] [--default-session-key=KEY] [--failsafe|-f] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gnome-session  program starts up the GNOME desktop environment.  This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
       xdm, or from your X startup scripts).  It will load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined
       by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system).

       The  default  session  is defined in the GConf keys under /desktop/gnome/session.  When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently
       running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory.

       gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager.  It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --autostart=DIR
	      Start all applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the applications defined  in  /desktop/gnome/session/default_session,	or
	      via the --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart options can be passed.

       --default-session-key=KEY
	      Sets  the  GConf key from which applications running a default session should be read to KEY. If not specificed, /desktop/gnome/ses-
	      sion/default_session will be used.

       --failsafe
	      gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging code.

ENVIRONMENT

       gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the  SESSION_MANAGER	environment  vari-
       able.  gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes.

       SESSION_MANAGER

	      This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session.

       DISPLAY

	      This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different
	      from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked.
