NAME¶
wmanagerrc-update —
update your wmanager settings automatically
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
The
wmanagerrc-update program creates or
updates the
~/.wmanagerrc file with a list
of X11 window managers currently installed on the system. On systems that do
not have a convention for registering X window managers,
wmanagerrc-update simply copies the
contents of the
~/.wmanagerrc.user file to
~/.wmanagerrc.
On systems that register the installed X window managers, the
wmanagerrc-update program adds all of them
to the
wmanager(1) configuration so that they are
available soon after installation. Currently, only Debian GNU/Linux and
similar systems that use the
update-alternaties(8) mechanism are supported.
Locally installed window managers and things not registered as alternatives
for
x-window-manager(1) can be added to the file
~/.wmanagerrc.user in the
.wmanagerrc format; see the
wmanager(1) README file, usually
/usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz, for more
information. The
wmanagerrc-update program
uses the entries first from
~/.wmanagerrc.user, then from the the
registered window managers, in the order of
update-alternatives(8) priorities. You can
override this by listing entries in wanted order in
~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated by
whitespace.
BUGS¶
Concurrent
wmanagerrc-update processes may
clobber the
.wmanagerrc file.
