NAME¶
kdeinit5 - Launcher for applications built with kdeinit support, and for KIO slaves.
SYNOPSIS¶
kdeinit5 [--help] [[--no-fork] | [--no-kded] | [--suicide]] [[+programs] | [programs]]
DESCRIPTION¶
kdeinit5 is a process launcher somewhat similar to the famous init used for booting UNIX. It executes KDE programs and kdeinit loadable modules (KLMs) starting them more efficiently.
Using kdeinit5 to launch KDE applications makes starting a typical KDE application a couple times faster and reduces memory consumption by a substantial amount.
kdeinit5 is linked against all libraries a standard KDE application needs. With this technique, starting an application becomes much faster because now only the application itself needs to be linked whereas otherwise both the application as well as all the libraries it uses need to be linked.
DISADVANTAGES¶
The process name of applications started via kdeinit5 is "kdeinit5". This problem can be corrected to a degree by changing the application name as shown by ps. However, applications like killall will only see kdeinit5 as the process name. To workaround this, use kdekillall (from kdesdk/scripts) for applications started via kdeinit5.
