# autoshart
## auto-start .desktop files on login
*dedicated to my friend m455*
Autostart programs are a modern ... thingy. I'm not sure how I feel about em,
but many programs ship with an autostart `*.desktop` file in
`~/.config/autostart` or wherever.
If you don't have a full-on DE, starting these programs can be a chore. [Other
programs](https://github.com/jceb/dex) have been written to address this, but
those are (A) in Python and (B) not by me. So here's my solution, in (I'm
pretty sure it's) POSIX sh.
## usage
```
AUTOSHART: autostart without the shit
USAGE: autoshart -h
autoshart [-k] [-n] [-q]
FLAGS:
-h Show this help and exit.
-k Kill all processes started by autoshart and exit.
-n Only print what would happen; don't execute anything.
-q Don't print any output.
```
Drop something like the following in your `~/.xinitrc`:
```
autostart -q
```
And if you have some kind of logout script, put this in it:
```
autostart -k
```
## installation
This is just a shell script, so you can copy or link it to your `$PATH`. That's
what the provided `Makefile` does.
