Full Discussion: List of all environment variables?
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat List of all environment variables? Post 302491482 by msarro on Thursday 27th of January 2011 02:45:00 PM

Is there a list of all of the default system variables, including those that aren't set? For instance EDITOR is usually not set but is a system variable (or else its set to emacs? I can't remember).

gnome-session

GNOME-SESSION(1)					      General Commands Manual						  GNOME-SESSION(1)

NAME

       gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-session [--autostart=DIR] [--default-session-key=KEY] [--failsafe|-f] [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       The  gnome-session  program starts up the GNOME desktop environment.  This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm,
       xdm, or from your X startup scripts).  It will load either your saved session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined
       by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system).

       The  default  session  is defined in the GConf keys under /desktop/gnome/session.  When saving a session, gnome-session saves the currently
       running applications in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnome-session/saved-session directory.

       gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager.  It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --autostart=DIR
	      Start all applications defined in DIR, instead of starting the applications defined  in  /desktop/gnome/session/default_session,	or
	      via the --default-session-key option. Multiple --autostart options can be passed.

       --default-session-key=KEY
	      Sets  the  GConf key from which applications running a default session should be read to KEY. If not specificed, /desktop/gnome/ses-
	      sion/default_session will be used.

       --failsafe
	      gnome-session will run in fail-safe mode. User-specified applications will not be started.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging code.

ENVIRONMENT

       gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the  SESSION_MANAGER	environment  vari-
       able.  gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child processes.

       SESSION_MANAGER

	      This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session.

       DISPLAY

	      This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different
	      from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked.

BUGS

       If you find bugs in the gnome-session program, please report these on http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
