# miwm-session(1)

Start up the MIWM window Manager

## NAME

miwm-session - Start up the MIWM window Manager

## SYNOPSIS

```
  miwm-session [option]
```

## DESCRIPTION

As MIWM does not have any meny by default to start external programs, this file starts by default one **x-terminal-emulator**(1) program with the window manager. See section FILES.

This program is designed to be used by GDM (etc) from /usr/share/xsessions/miwm.desktop and therefore this program does not exit until Window Manager exists.

## OPTIONS

- **-h, --help**

  Display brief description.

- **-V, --version**

  Display version information.

## ENVIRONMENT

None.

## FILES

- **$HOME/.miwm/session**

  If file exists, it is executed using /bin/sh after the window manager starts. This file inhibits starting the default **x-terminal-emulator**(1).
