XENV(1X11)              COMMAND REFERENCE              XENV(1X11)



NAME
     xenv - initialize X window environment

SYNOPSIS
     xenv [ -f ] [ -s  file ] [ -rhost ]

     This is a supported client.

DESCRIPTION
     This command allows users to have their X window environment
     automatically initialized on first entry to the window
     system, i.e. when xterm(1x11) is started by invoking
     xsystem(8x11), or when they log into a login xterm window.
     This command should be invoked from the user's shell
     initialization file (.login if csh(1) is used, .profile if
     sh(1) is used.)

     The xenv command looks for the specified program using the
     user's search path and runs the program if found.  If no
     program was specified, xusersetup(1x11) is used.

     To insure that the user's setup program is only run once per
     X session, xsystem(8x11) creates a lock file in /tmp that is
     found and removed by xenv.

     The DISPLAY environment variable must be set prior to
     invoking xenv in order to match the proper lock file unless
     the -f option is used.

     The xenv command will remove the lock file from the /tmp
     directory to prevent the window environment from being
     initialized more than once per X session.

     A system default user setup script is provided in
     /usr/lib/X11/bin/xusersetup (with a symbolic link from
     /bin/xusersetup).

OPTIONS
     -f      Force xenv to initialize X window environment.  Any
             lock file is ignored.

     -s file Specify file as the setup program rather than the
             default xusersetup.

     -rhost  Display the remote host you login from.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY        To get default host and display number.
