TDEINIT(1)

NAME
tdeinit - TDE process launcher

SYNOPSIS
tdeinit [options]

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

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

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

The tdeinit master process can be used to start additional TDE programs via tdeinit_wrapper, kshell and kwrapper.

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

OPTIONS

--no-kded
    Do not start kded

--suicide
    Terminate when no TDE applications are left running

FILES

  /usr/lib/trinity
directory with KLMs (tdeinit loadable modules)
