<para>CDEnext session databases (<Filename>dtsession.db</Filename>)

supersede CDE1.0 session databases.
|
|
The CDEnext Session Manager can read CDE 1.0 session databases but not write
|
|
to them. It will write only to CDEnext session databases.
|
|
For more information see, &cdeman.dtsessiondb;.

</note>
|
|
<Para>At session startup, the session manager will restart any applications
|
|
that were saved as part of the session. The system default set of
|
|
applications to be
|
|
restored as part of the user's Initial Session can be found in
|
|
/usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.session. This file should not be edited as
|
|
it will be unconditionally overwritten upon subsequent desktop
|
|
installations.
|
|
</Para>
|
|
<Para>A system administrator may replace the set of applications that
|
|
are restored as part of the user's Initial Session by creating
|
|
a file named /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.session. Unlike the resource
|
|
files, this file will be used as a complete replacement for the
|
|
desktop default file, so it is valid to make a copy of the system
|
|
default file and make any necessary modifications.

<Title>FILE FORMAT</Title>
|

<Para>A session file contains a line for each application to be started
|
|
during a user's Initial Session. Empty lines or lines beginning with
|
|
a "#" are ignored. Each application to be started should have a line
|
|
in the session file of the form:

<Para>dtsmcmd -cmd "application command line and options"

<Para>dtsmcmd -cmd "/usr/dt/bin/dtfile -dir ~ -geometry +700+0"
