.SH NAME
desktop-autoloader \- Desktop Session Autoloader Launch Script
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B desktop-autoloader

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdesktop-autoloader\fR is a tiny script that loads a virtual desktop session in Xvfb.
Its purpose is to fill the kernel's file system RAM cache with all necessary files
needed for running a real desktop session (of the same type).
.PP
The Desktop Session Autoloader is a nice-to-have tool on diskless clients
(aka LTSP Fat Clients). It accelerates the login of the
first-user-of-the-day tremendously. To take advantage of the pre-loaded
desktop session, make sure the diskless systems get launched via Wake-on-LAN
before 7:30am.
.PP
\fBdesktop-autoloader\fR should not be executed directly, it is executed via CRON.
It gets only executed when the system is booted before a certain time of day (so
it does not inflict performance breakdown on already running sessions.

.SH OPTIONS
There are no options.
