# jpilot(1)

A palm pilot desktop for Linux/Unix

## NAME

jpilot - A palm pilot desktop for Linux/Unix

## SYNOPSIS

**jpilot \[-v\] \[-h\] \[-d\] \[-a\] \[-A\] \[-i\] \[-s\]**

## DESCRIPTION

J-Pilot is a desktop organizer application for the palm pilot and other Palm OS devices.  It is similar in functionality to the one that 3Com/Palm distributes.

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  displays version and exits.

- **-h**

  displays help and exits.

- **-d**

  displays debug info to stdout.

- **-a**

  ignores missed alarms since the last time program was run.

- **-A**

  ignores all alarms, past and future.

- **-i**

  makes  **jpilot** iconify itself upon launch.

- **-s**

  initiates a sync on the running **jpilot** instance.

  If you have more than one  **jpilot** running at the same time the sync may not work as expected since nothing is done to support a multi-instance configuration.

## ENVIRONMENT

The PILOTPORT and PILOTRATE environment variables are used to specify which port to sync on and at what speed.

If PILOTPORT is not set then it defaults to /dev/pilot.

## BUGS

See /usr/share/doc/jpilot/BUGS
