NAME

session — user login ession

SYNOPSIS

~/.session

/etc/session

DESCRIPTION

login(8) creates the user's session by running the user's session script, which normally executes a command line or graphical user environment. The session concludes once the session script exits and login(8) reclaims control.

The session script is found by searching for an executable script in the following paths:

~/.session
/etc/session

The user's shell from passwd(5) is used as a fallback session.

EXAMPLES

The user's ~/.session file can be created in any text editor and then made executable:

editor ~/.session 
chmod +x ~/.session

Graphical User Interface

display(1) can be selected as the user's graphical user interface with this executable ~/.session script:

#!/bin/sh 
exec display

display(1) will run the displayrc(5) script on startup, which can be used to start applications.

Trianglix

trianglix(1) can be selected as the user's triangle environment with this executable ~/.session script:

#!/bin/sh 
exec trianglix
