NAME

       xfce4-session - Starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-session

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session command.

       The  xfce4-session  program starts up the Xfce Desktop Environment and is typically executed by your login manager (e.g. xdm, gdm, kdm, wdm
       or from your X startup scripts). It will load your last session or a default session that includes the standard Xfce programs if  no  saved
       session is available.

       xfce4-session is an standard X11R6 session manager that can manage any X11R6 SM compliant program, including GNOME and KDE programs.

       xfce4-session uses the contents of the ~/.cache/sessions/ directory for starting previously saved sessions.

OPTIONS

       xfce4-session takes the following command line options:

       --disable-tcp
	      Disable  binding	to  TCP  ports in the ICE layer. This is not possible on every platform. If you use this option on a platform that
	      does not support it, xfce4-session will print a warning message and ignore the setting.

       --help Print a help screen and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

       xfce4-session's behaviour is affected by the following environment variables.

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
	      Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.config/

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	      Set of preference ordered base directories relative to which configuration files should be searched in  addition	to  the  $XDG_CON-
	      FIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be separated with a colon.

       XDG_CACHE_HOME
	      Specifies the root for all user-specific cache data. If this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.cache/

FILES

       xfce4-session reads its configuration from the file $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc.  xfce4-session stores its session data
       into $XDG_CACHE_HOME/sessions/.

NAME

       sb2-session - manage scratchbox2 sessions

SYNOPSIS

       sb2-session [COMMAND [PARAMS]]

DESCRIPTION

       sb2-session  is	used  to  create attachable scratchbox2 sessions.  You can save session even when you haven't done '-S session' during sb2
       startup.

       Note that you can give parameters to attach command which are passed verbatim to sb2. If there  is  only  one  session  to  attach,  it	is
       selected automatically.

       If no command is given, help text is printed.

COMMANDS

       help   shows help text

       save   saves current session

       list   lists detached sb2 sessions

       delete SESSION
	      deletes given session

       attach [SESSION [PARAMS]]
	      attaches to a given session

       setenv VARIABLE VALUE
	      store a value for an environment variable

       showenv
	      show stored environment variables

EXAMPLES

       Basic usage is:

	   [SB2 .. ] $ sb2-session save  # save session
	   [SB2 .. ] $ ^D		 # exit

       Later we can then attach to this session:

	   % sb2-session attach

       If there are more than one saved session, then:

	   % sb2-session list
	   session.XXXX    TARGET_ARM	   My Comment
	   session.YYYY    TARGET_ARM	   My Comment 2
	   session.ZZZZ    TARGET_MIPS
	   % sb2-session attach session.YYYY

       Here we pass '-eR' to sb2 and we only have one saved session:

	    % sb2-session attach -- -eR

       '--' marks end of parameter list for sb2-session.

       setenv  VARIABLE  VALUE	can  be  used  to  add environment variables, that will become active when a saved session is later taken into use
       (either by sb2-session attach or by sb2 -J).

       setenv VARIABLE VALUE does not change environment of sessions that are already active.

       showenv lists environment variable settings which have been stored with this tool. It  does  not  show  environment  variables  from  other
       sources.
