💖 NAME 💖

ok so bestie, this page is for gdm-control — and the official title line says it's Openbox - standards compliant, fast, light-weight, extensible window manager. that's the whole vibe, no notes ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gdm-control <option>

like. one option. that's the whole assignment. you got this 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: gdm-control lets you control gdm from inside an X session. yesss, from the inside, main character energy fr 💅

it lets you change what GDM does when you end the current session. so like — say you wanna tell GDM to reboot, and then you immediately log out of the current session, and boom, the computer reboots. that's it. that's the trick. lowkey iconic 🦋

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --help — shows you some help and then dips out. exit stage left 💨
  • --none — does absolutely nothing special when the current session ends. no cap, zero drama, just vibes 🌈
  • --shutdown — shuts the computer down when the current session ends 🔥
  • --reboot — reboots the computer when the current session ends ⭐
  • --suspend — suspends the computer when the current session ends 😴💜
  • --switch-user — log in as a new user. and bestie, this one works immediately, not at session end. periodt 👑
heads up bestie: every one of these except --help and --switch-user is a "when the current session ends" situation. --switch-user is the impatient one. iykyk 💅
