NAME

SYNOPSIS

       slim [options] [<arguments>]

DESCRIPTION

       SLiM is a lightweight login manager for X11, allowing the initialization of a graphical session by entring username and password in a login
       screen.

OPTIONS

       -d     run as a daemon

       -p /path/to/theme
	      display a preview of the theme. An already running X11 session is required for theme preview.

       -h     display a brief help message

       -v     display version information

EXAMPLES

       slim -d
	      run slim in daemon mode

       slim -p /usr/share/slim/themes/default
	      preview of the default theme

STARTING SLIM AT BOOT

       Please refer to documentation of your Operating System to make slim automatically startup after the system boots.

CONFIGURATION

       Global configuration is stored in the /etc/slim.conf file. See the comments inside the file for a detailed explanation of the options.

USAGE AND SPECIAL USERNAMES

       When started, slim will show a login panel; enter the username and password of the user you want to login as.

       Special usernames:

       console
	      open a xterm console

       exit   quit slim

       halt   shutdown the machine

       reboot reboot the machine

       suspend
	      power-suspend the machine

       See the configuration file for customizing the above commands.  The 'halt' and 'reboot' commands need the root password, this may change in
       future releases.

       Shortcuts:

       F11    executes a custom command (by default takes a screenshot)

       F1     choose session type (see configuration file and xinitrc.sample)
