9NAME
10----
11startfluxbox - start a fluxbox session
12
13SYNOPSIS
14--------
15*startfluxbox*
16
17DESCRIPTION
18-----------
19*startfluxbox* is a script which runs the file *\~/.fluxbox/startup* If it
20doesn't exist it will be generated.
21
22*startfluxbox* should be started from your *\~/.xinitrc* if you use startx, or
23*\~/.xsession* if you run a display manager, like xdm.
24
25FILES
26-----
27*\~/.fluxbox/startup*::
28 This file contains all commands that should be executed before fluxbox is
29 started. The initial file contains helpful comments for beginners. It also
30 starts fluxbox.
31
32EXAMPLES
33--------
34The default *\~/.fluxbox/startup* is as follows:
35....
36#!/bin/sh
37#
38# fluxbox startup-script:
39#
40# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
41
42# Change your keymap:
43xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
44
45# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
46# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
47#
48# unclutter -idle 2 &
49# wmnd &
50# wmsmixer -w &
51# idesk &
52
53# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
54# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
55
56exec fluxbox
57# or if you want to keep a log:
58# exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"
59....
60
61If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the *exec
62fluxbox* line above to something like this:
63....
64exec fluxbox &
65fbpid=$!
66
67sleep 1
68{
69 xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black &
70 ipager &
71 gkrellm2 &
72} &
73
74wait $fbpid
75....
76So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after
77giving fluxbox 1 second to startup.
78
79For more details on what else you can do in this script, see *sh(1p)*, or the
80documentation for your shell.
