NAME

sunview − initialization file for SunView

SYNOPSIS

~/.sunview
~/.suntools
/usr/lib/.sunview

DESCRIPTION

If the file .sunview or .suntools is present in a user’s home directory when the user starts up sunview(1), sunview starts up the “tools”, or window-based applications listed in this file.  You can use a .sunview or .suntools file to customize your desktop layout.  If a .sunview or .suntools file is not present in the user’s home directory, sunview starts up the tools listed in /usr/lib/.sunview. 

Each line of a .sunview or .suntools file has the format:

SunView-tool [ options ]

SunView-tool is in the form of a command line, although no shell interpretation is done.  options are command line options which may include SunView generic tool arguments (see sunview(1) for a description of generic tool arguments).  Lines beginning with the ‘#’ character are considered comments and are ignored.
