KDEINIT

NAME

kdeinit − KDE process launcher

SYNOPSIS

kdeinit [options]

DESCRIPTION

kdeinit is a process launcher similar to init used for booting UNIX.

kdeinit is used to start all other KDE programs. It can start binary program files as well as kdeinit loadable modules (KLMs).

When kdeinit starts for the first time it launches dcopserver, klauncher, kded and some additional programs specified on its command line in the startkde script (normally kcminit and knotify).

The kdeinit master process can be used to start additional KDE programs via kdeinit_wrapper, kshell and kwrapper.

KLMs are dynamic libraries that work like binary programs but can be started more efficiently. Starting KLMs via kdeinit is much faster and more memory efficient because kdeinit is linked against all libraries a standard KDE application needs. To start a KLM kdeinit forks and loads the dynamic library.

OPTIONS

−−no−kded

Do not start kded

−−suicide
