       splashy { boot | shutdown | test | preview }

       splashy_chvt { TTY_NUMBER }

DESCRIPTION

       Splashy displays an image and a progress bar at boot time. When called as splashy_chvt, it allows the same functionality as the UNIX
       command chvt.

       shutdown
	       Does shutdown sequence. See EXAMPLES.

       test, preview
	       Use to test splashy without having to reboot the system. this shows a progressbar continuously moving as well as the current image
	       for the currently selected theme.  See EXAMPLES.

EXAMPLES

       "/sbin/splashy test"

       Used to test splashy. Useful for testing new themes.

       "/sbin/splashy boot"

       Used when booting your system. This is run automatically by a initrc script during boot.

       "/sbin/splashy shutdown"

       Similar in spirit to boot, but run during shutdown. This is run automatically by a initrc script during shutdown.

FILES

       /etc/splashy/config.xml
	       Main configuration. defines how splashy should be setup.

       /etc/splashy/themes/default/config.xml
	       Default theme. defines how the images displayed by splashy should be setup, their location and other theme-related variables.

NOTES

       To use splashy as chvt, make a symbolic link from splashy's location to a new path. i.e.: cd /sbin; ln -s splashy splashy_chvt
