Summary : X session manager
|
Description :
Xsm is a session manager. A session is a group of applications, each of which has a particular state. xsm allows you to create arbitrary sessions - for example, you might have a \"light\" session, a \"development\" session, or an \"xterminal\" session. Each session can have its own set of applications. Within a session, you can perform a \"checkpoint\" to save application state, or a \"shutdown\" to save state and exit the session. When you log back in to the system, you can load a specific session, and you can delete sessions you no longer want to keep.
Some session managers simply allow you to manually specify a list of applications to be started in a session. xsm is more powerful because it lets you run applications and have them automatically become part of the session. On a simple level, xsm is useful because it gives you this ability to easily define which applications are in a session. The true power of xsm, however, can be taken advantage of when more and more applications learn to save and restore their state.
