smproxy(X1) X Version 11 (Release 6.1)


smproxy -- Session Manager Proxy

Synopsis

smproxy [-clientId id] [-restore saveFile]

Description

smproxy allows X applications that do not support X11R6 session management to participate in an X11R6 session.

In order for smproxy to act as a proxy for an X application, one of the following must be true:

An application that supports the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol will receive a WM_SAVE_YOURSELF client message each time the session manager issues a checkpoint or shutdown. This allows the application to save state. If an application does not support the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol, then the proxy will provide enough information to the session manager to restart the application (using WM_COMMAND), but no state will be restored.

Options

-clientId id
Specifies the session ID used by smproxy in the previous session.

-restore saveFile
Specifies the file used by smproxy to save state in the previous session.
