# aewm++\_xsession(1)

keeps an xsession alive

## NAME

aewm++\_xsession - keeps an xsession alive

## SYNOPSIS

**aewm++\_xsession**

## DESCRIPTION

**aewm++\_xsession** does nothing more than keep the session alive if the window manager dies or is killed.

Common usage of this program is as follows: edit ~/.xinitrc and add

- aewm++ &

  - exec aewm++\_xsession

  Now if aewm++ dies or is killed off then X does die. You can safely start another window manager from the command line or an xterm window.
