IVMAN-LAUNCH(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   IVMAN-LAUNCH(8)

NAME

       ivman-launch - launch script for Ivman

SYNOPSIS

       ivman-launch [ --exit-with-session <cmd> ] [ OPTIONS ] [ COMMAND [ ARGS... ]]

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.

OPTIONS

       --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.

       --debug --nofork --system
	      These flags be passed to the launched ivman command.

EXAMPLES

       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:

       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.
