KDEINIT4(8)		       KDE User's Manual		   KDEINIT4(8)

NAME
       kdeinit4	 -  Start  all other KDE programs and kdeinit loadable modules
       (KLMs).

SYNOPSIS
       kdeinit4 [--help] [--no-fork | --no-kded | --suicide] [+programs |
		programs]

DESCRIPTION
       kdeinit4 is a process launcher somewhat similar to the famous init used
       for booting UNIX. It executes KDE programs and kdeinit loadable modules
       (KLMs) starting them more efficiently.

       Using  kdeinit4 to launch KDE applications makes starting a typical KDE
       application a couple times faster and reduces memory consumption	 by  a
       substantial amount.

       kdeinit4	 is  linked  against  all libraries a standard KDE application
       needs. With this technique, starting an application becomes much faster
       because now only the application itself needs to be linked whereas oth‐
       erwise both the application as well as all the libaries it uses need to
       be linked.

DISADVANTAGES
       The  process  name  of applications started via kdeinit4 is "kdeinit4".
       This problem can be corrected to a degree by changing  the  application
       name  as	 shown by ps. However, applications like killall will only see
       kdeinit4 as the process name. To workaround this, use kdekillall	 (from
       kdesdk/scripts) for applications started via kdeinit4.

OPTIONS
       --help Show help about options

       --no-fork
	      Do  not  fork,  i.e. do not exit until all the executed programs
	      ends

       --no-kded
	      Do not start kded

       --suicide
	      Terminate when no KDE applications are left running

       +programs
	      runs the programs handling requests

       programs
	      runs the programs without handling requests

USAGE
       A standard way to run this program is by simply specifying the  follow‐
       ing command at the prompt kdeinit4 program or kdeinit4 +program

FILES
       /tmp/kde-$USER/kdeinit4_$INSTANCE
	      ...

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       $HOME  Specifies the home directory of the current user

       $KDE_HOME_READONLY
	      Specifies if the home directory of the current user is read only

       $KDE_IS_PRELINKED
	      If set, tells kdeinit4 that the KDE programs are pre-linked.

	      (Prelinking is a process that allows you to speed up the process
	      of dynamic linking.)

       $KDE_DISPLAY
	      If set, tells kdeinit4 that it is running on a KDE desktop.
