STARTDESKTOP(1)                                                STARTDESKTOP(1)



NAME
     startdesktop - open an IRIX Interactive Desktop dirview of home directory


SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/desktop/startdesktop


DESCRIPTION
     The startdesktop utility opens a dirview of the user's home directory.
     It does not restart the file manager (fm(1)) on the desktop background,
     however.  (Compare with the similar /usr/lib/desktop/telldesktop restart
     command.)


     The startdesktop program can be launched from the toolchest (Desktop >
     Access Files > In my Home Directory).  Users can also run it from a Unix
     shell command line.


     For more information about the entire IRIX Interactive Desktop
     environment, see the IID(1) man page.
