💖 XDG-AUTOSTART(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the General Commands Manual page for xdg-autostart — yes the name is right there in the title, we're just vibing 💅

✨ NAME ✨

xdg-autostart — auto start programs as specified by Freedesktop.org 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xdg-autostart [desktop-environment]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this manual page documents briefly the xdg-autostart command. short and sweet, we love that for us.

xdg-autostart is a helper that runs the programs defined in /etc/xdg/autostart/ and ~/.config/autostart (see the FreeDesktop specification for autostarted programs). literally it just goes and starts all your lil startup programs for you, no cap ✨

add it to your ~/.openbox/autostart file and manage your session with lxsession-edit or other. yep, just drop it in there and let it cook 🍓

your computer or restart it from a simple command line.

ok that last sentence is just how it is in the original, bestie — I'm not gonna pretend I can read its mind 🙈 I'm keeping it fr fr

👑 OPTIONS 👑

this program can be given the following parameter:

• desktop-environment — sets your desktop name (e.g. KDE, XFCE, ROX...). pls refer to this table: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html to get the name of desktops currently supported by the Freedesktop specification. it's giving very "look it up, i'm not your mom" but it's iconic tho 💅

by default, xdg-autostart uses Openbox as the desktop name. so if you don't pass anything, openbox it is, periodt 🌈
