wmanagerrc-update

WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 				      WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)

NAME

     wmanagerrc-update -- update your wmanager settings automatically

SYNOPSIS

     wmanagerrc-update

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.

HISTORY

     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.
