.TH IVMAN-LAUNCH 8 "10 February 2006"
.SH NAME
ivman-launch \- launch script for Ivman
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ivman-launch [ --exit-with-session <cmd> ] [ OPTIONS ] [ COMMAND [ ARGS... ]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
ivman-launch is a simple script used to launch Ivman. Its sole purpose is
to ensure Ivman is closed at the end of a user's login session. You can use
it if your session manager does not properly close Ivman when you log out.
ivman-launch supports the same command-line options as Ivman, and one additional
option: --exit-with-session. Thus, there is no point using ivman-launch if you
do not need to use this option.
If you supply a COMMAND (with optional ARGS), the the specified
command will be run after ivman is started, and ivman will be killed
after that command exits.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-\-exit\-with\-session " " <cmd>
ivman-launch will block until the command 'cmd' terminates, at which point it will kill
Ivman and exit itself. If the command 'cmd' is not running when ivman-launch is started,
Ivman will exit immediately. Note that this option implies Ivman will be called with the '--nofork'
option.
option.
.TP
.BR \-\-debug " " \-\-nofork " " \-\-system
These flags be passed to the launched ivman command.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
.BR ivman-launch " " --exit-with-session " " xinit " " &
The ivman process will be started, then the xinit process is watched.
When the xinit process exits, ivman is killed. Placing this command
in an ~/.xinitrc file would cause Ivman to launch in the background
when your session begins, and exit when your session ends:
.TP
.BR ivman-launch " " /usr/bin/x-window-manager
The ivman process is launched, then /usr/bin/x-window-manager is run,
when x-window-manager exits, ivman is killed. This is an example of
how ivman might be launched from Xsession in order to chain several
programs together in one session.
