startfluxbox \- start a fluxbox session
28
\fBstartfluxbox\fR is a script which runs the file \fB\e~/\&.fluxbox/startup\fR If it doesn\(cqt exist it will be generated\&.
30
\fBstartfluxbox\fR should be started from your \fB~/\&.xinitrc\fR if you use startx, or \fB\e~/\&.xsession\fR if you run a display manager, like xdm\&.
33
\fB\e~/\&.fluxbox/startup\fR
35
This file contains all commands that should be executed before fluxbox is started\&. The initial file contains helpful comments for beginners\&. It also starts fluxbox\&.
39
The default \fB\e~/\&.fluxbox/startup\fR is as follows:
47
# fluxbox startup\-script:
49
# Lines starting with a \'#\' are ignored\&.
52
xmodmap "$HOME/\&.Xmodmap"
54
# Applications you want to run with fluxbox\&.
55
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN \'\'&\'\' AT THE END\&.
57
# unclutter \-idle 2 &
62
# And last but not least we start fluxbox\&.
63
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with \'\'exec\'\' before it\&.
66
# or if you want to keep a log:
67
# exec fluxbox \-log "$fluxdir/log"
73
If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the \fBexec fluxbox\fR line above to something like this:
84
xsetroot \-cursor_name left_ptr \-fg white \-bg black &
95
So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after giving fluxbox 1 second to startup\&.
97
For more details on what else you can do in this script, see \fBsh(1p)\fR, or the documentation for your shell\&.
