# winswitch\_client(1)

Window Switch applet

## NAME

winswitch\_client - Window Switch applet

## SYNOPSIS

**winswitch\_client \[--debug-mode\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**winswitch\_client** starts a GUI-less Window Switch client.

- \--debug-mode

  Enable debug mode

## FILES

*.winswitch/client/client.conf*

The client configuration file.

## DIAGNOSTICS

## OVERVIEW

Generally, users will want to use **winswitch\_applet** instead as it provides a GUI and the means of starting and controlling sessions. **winswitch\_client** on the other hand does not include any user interface, it can only receive commands from the servers it will connect to, or from local socket commands (ie: open file remotely).
