dtsessionfile(4)

     NAME
          dtsessionfile - format and location of desktop session files

     DESCRIPTION
          At session startup, the session manager will restart any
          applications that were saved as part of the session. The
          system default set of applications to be restored as part of
          the user's Initial Session can be found in
          /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.session. This file should not be
          edited as it will be unconditionally overwritten upon
          subsequent desktop installations.

          A system administrator may replace the set of applications
          that are restored as part of the user's Initial Session by
          creating a file named /etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.session.
          Unlike the resource files, this file will be used as a
          complete replacement for the desktop default file, so it is
          valid to make a copy of the system default file and make any
          necessary modifications.

     FILE FORMAT
          A session file contains a line for each application to be
          started during a user's Initial Session. Empty lines or
          lines beginning with a "#" are ignored. Each application to
          be started should have a line in the session file of the
          form:

            dtsmcmd -cmd "application command line and options"

          For example, to start the file manager with options:

            dtsmcmd -cmd "/usr/dt/bin/dtfile -dir ~ -geometry +700+0"

          More specifically, a session file consists of one or more
          SessionLine's:

          SessionLine    = Comment | SessionSpec | <empty line>
          Comment        = "#" {<any character except null or
                         newline>}
          SessionSpec    = "dtsmcmd -cmd " Quote CommandSpec Quote
          Quote          = """
          CommandSpec    = "<application command line and options>"

                         Elements separated by vertical bar (|) are
                         alternatives.  Curly braces ({...}) indicate
                         zero or more repetitions of the enclosed
                         elements.  Quotes ("...") are used around
                         literal characters.

     FILES
