NAME
systemd-xdg-autostart-generator - User unit generator for XDG autostart
files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/user-generators/systemd-xdg-autostart-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-xdg-autostart-generator is a generator that creates .service
units for XDG autostart[1] files. This permits desktop environments to
delegate startup of these applications to systemd(1) .
Units created by systemd-xdg-autostart-generator can be started by the
desktop environment using "xdg-desktop-autostart.target". See
systemd.special(7) for more details.
XDG autostart may be conditionalized using both standardized and
non-standardized keys. In order to handle these, the generator may
create one or more ExecCondition= entries. For non-standardized keys,
well-known helper binaries provided by Desktop Environments are used.
All external helpers must detect their corresponding desktop
environment and must return success when run in a different
environment. This is important as all ExecCondition= directives must
succeed for an application to be started.
