UWSM-TERMINAL(1)

πŸ“¦ version 0.26.6, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

UWSM-TERMINAL πŸ’– (that's the manual, bestie β€” section 1, General Commands Manual)

okay so picture this: three lil commands that are literally just the same command wearing different outfits. iconic. let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

uwsm-terminal, uwsm-terminal-service, uwsm-terminal-scope β€” wrapper entrypoints for uwsm-app using terminal/unit options πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uwsm-terminal [app options...]
uwsm-terminal-service [app options...]
uwsm-terminal-scope [app options...]

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

So. All three of these? They're symbolic links to uwsm-app(1). Not copies, not forks, not "inspired by" β€” actual symlinks. And uwsm-app(1) is the one that talks to the UWSM app daemon and launches your applications under systemd user units. no cap, that's the whole job.

The way that each variant just quietly preloads some default options though?? obsessed. here's the tea:

  • uwsm-terminal β€” preconfigures -T -- so it asks for your app to be launched in a terminal. πŸ–₯️
  • uwsm-terminal-service β€” same as above, plus it tacks on -t service, asking for the app to run as a systemd user service. ✨
  • uwsm-terminal-scope β€” same as above again, but it goes with -t scope, so the app runs in a transient user scope instead of a persistent service. different vibe, still slaying. πŸ¦‹

🌈 USAGE 🌈

These entrypoints are your besties when you want to launch applications β€” think GUI or TUI apps, whatever you're feeling β€” in a structured way, with systemd unit isolation and terminal control doing their thing in the background. main character launch energy, fr fr. πŸ‘‘

ngl bestie, if you want the full deets on all the [app options...] you can pass, that lives in uwsm-app(1). these three are just the presets. πŸ’–
