wmanagerrc-update —
update your wmanager settings automatically
wmanagerrc-update |
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.
Concurrent wmanagerrc-update processes may
clobber the .wmanagerrc file.
The wmanagerrc-update program was written
by Tommi Virtanen in 2000 and later modified by
Peter Pentchev. This manual page was originally
written in perldoc format by Tommi Virtanen in 2000,
and converted to mdoc format and updated by Peter
Pentchev in 2008.
