	      ond).

       config_file=<configuration file>
	      Sets    de    configuration    file.    Default	  value	    is
	      /etc/pam_pkcs11/card_eventmgr.conf.

       pidfile=<pidfile>
	      Store the card_eventmgr process ID (pid) in the file pidfile.

       kill   Read  a  process id from pidfile and kill that process. You must
	      use the argument pidfile=<pidfile> to use kill.

EXAMPLES
       To run this program the standard way type:

	card_eventmgr

       Alternatively you can specify options:

	card_eventmgr	    debug	nodaemon       timeout=500	  con‐
       fig_file=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.conf

       If  you	want  to  start and stop card_eventmgr automatically in an X11
       session you can create a ~/.xsession file containing:
	# start the card autolock
	card_eventmgr pidfile=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.pid

	# start Gnome or something else
	/usr/bin/x-session-manager

	# kill the card autolock
	card_eventmgr kill pidfile=$HOME/.card_eventmgr.pid

BUGS
       Some applications like xscreensaver-command may fail  due  to  external
       events (eg: try to unlock an unlocked session).	In this case, the com‐
       mand incorrectly returns error code.
