NAME

       gpbs - GNUstep PasteBoard Server

SYNOPSIS

       gpbs

DESCRIPTION

       The gpbs daemon serves as a clipboard/pasteboard for GNUstep programs, handling the copying, cutting and pasting of objects as well as drag
       and drop operations between applications.

       Every user needs to have his own instance of gpbs
	 running. While gpbs will be started automatically as soon as it is needed, it is recommend to start gpbs in a personal login script  like
       ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc.  Alternatively you can launch gpbs when your windowing system or the window manager is started. For example, on sys-
       tems with X11 you can launch gpbs from your .xinitrc script or alternatively - if you are running Window Maker - put it in  Window  Maker's
       autostart script.  See the GNUstep Build Guide for a sample startup script.

OPTIONS

       -NSHost <hostname>
	      attaches gpbs to a remote session.

       --GSStartupNotification
	      sends a notification through the NSDistributedNotificationCenter (i.e.  gdnc) so that apps know that it has started up. This is only
	      relevant if the application itself tries to startup gpbs (which means gpbs was not started at session login).

       --daemon
	      starts gpbs as a daemon - mostly this means that all output gets sent to syslog rather than the terminal.

       --no-fork
	      does not fork a separate process

       --verbose
	      makes bs his logging more verbose

DIAGNOSTICS

       gdomap -L GNUstepGSPasteboardServer will lookup instances of gpbs.

       Alternatively, gdomap -N will list all registered names on the local host.

BUGS

       Versions of gpbs up to (including) 1.7.2 have problems with copy and paste of mulit-lingual text, as it used the atom  XA_STRING  alone	to
       exchange  string  data between X clients (and thus GNUstep clients).  This means gpbs is inherently unable to do cut-and-paste with charac-
       ters other than ISO Latin1 ones, TAB, and NEWLINE.

NAME

       openapp - launch applications from the command line

SYNOPSIS

       openapp [--find] [--debug [--gdb= debuger]] [ --library-combo=library-combo ] application [arguments...]

DESCRIPTION

       The openapp command allows you to launch graphical GNUstep applications from the command line.

       application is the complete or relative name of the application program with or without the .app extension, like Ink.app.

       arguments are the arguments passed to the application.

       openapp	first  checks whether the application is in the current working directory.  If not then searches the GNUstep domains' Applications
       folders in the following order: User (i.e. ~/GNUstep/Applications), Local, Network, System. First match wins.

OPTIONS

       --find application
	      will print out the full path of the application executable which would be executed, without actually executing it. It will also list
	      all paths that are attempted.

       --debug application
	      starts  the  application	in the debugger. By default gdb, but this can be changed with the --gdb= argument or through the GDB shell
	      variable.

       --library-combo=library-combo
	      Starts the application with the specified library combo. This is a rarely used option in a non-flattened	setup.	See  the  library-
	      combo(7) man-page for more information about the different library combinations.

       --help print above usage description.

EXAMPLES

       Start Ink.app without additional parameters:

       openapp Ink.app

       Launch Ink.app and pass it the --debug argument:

       openapp --debug Ink.app

       To determine which executable is launched by openapp, type:

       openapp --find Ink.app

       The output of the above command might be something like: /usr/GNUstep/Local/Applications/Ink.app/Ink

ENVIRONMENT

       GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE
	      is  used	to  determine where the GNUstep.sh configuration file is located. If the variable is not set openapp tries to locate it in
	      the folder where openapp was started, then in the user domain, and as a last resort in the system domain (or actually the place  you
	      configured (--with-config-file=) during building).

       GDB    Sets the debugger to use when --debug is used.
