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

NAME
       kdeinit4 - KDE process launcher.

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
       otherwise 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
       following 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.
