ABOUT

DSBAutostart is a Qt program to manage your XDG autostart files.

INSTALLATION

Dependencies

DSBAutostart depends on devel/qt5-buildtools, devel/qt5-core, devel/qt5-linguisttools, devel/qt5-qmake, x11-toolkits/qt5-gui, and x11-toolkits/qt5-widgets

Getting the source code

# git clone https://github.com/mrclksr/DSBAutostart.git

Building and installation

# cd DSBAutostart && qmake && make
# make install

SETUP

Openbox

Openbox supports XDG autostart through its openbox-xdg-autostart script. Just install devel/py-xdg.

Other window managers and desktop environments

If your window manager (WM) or desktop environment (DE) does not support XDG autostart, add the line dsbautostart -a to your WM/DE's autostart script. Alternatively, if you use ~/.xinitrc to start your WM/DE, add the line dsbautostart -a to ~/.xinitrc.

Usage

dsbautostart [-h]

dsbautostart <-a|-c>

Options

-a

Autostart commands, and exit.

-c

Create desktop files in the user's autostart directory from the command list read from stdin.

Upgrading from previous versions < 2.0

In order to upgrade from a previous version < 2.0, convert the commands from ~/.config/DSB/autostart.sh to desktop files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart:

% dsbautostart -c < ~/.config/DSB/autostart.sh

Make sure to remove calls to ~/.config/DSB/autostart.sh from your window manager's autostart file, or your ~/.xinitrc. Finally follow the steps in the SETUP section above.
