profile-manager

PROFILE-MANAGER(1)					      General Commands Manual						PROFILE-MANAGER(1)

NAME

       profile-manager - starts the gui for configuring the metadata used by desktop-profiles

SYNOPSIS

       profile-manager

DESCRIPTION

       The  desktop profiles package needs metadata about the available profiles in order to decide when to activate which profiles. This metadata
       is contained in the .listing files placed in the /etc/desktop-profiles directory. This convenience script will start a graphical  interface
       for configuring that metadata.

       The gui is a kommander script, so you need to have the kommander package installed for the gui to work (the script will check if the neces-
       sary prerequisites are present, and tell you what's missing if necessary).

OPTIONS

       There are no options

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

BUGS

       The gui currently barks at profile metadata containing a single quote in the description.
