NAME

       desktop-autoloader - Desktop Session Autoloader Launch Script

SYNOPSIS

       desktop-autoloader

DESCRIPTION

       desktop-autoloader is a tiny script that loads a virtual desktop session in Xvfb.  Its purpose is to fill
       the kernel's file system RAM cache with all necessary files needed for running a real desktop session (of
       the same type).

       The  Desktop  Session  Autoloader  is  a nice-to-have tool on diskless clients (aka LTSP Fat Clients). It
       accelerates the login of the first-user-of-the-day tremendously. To  take  advantage  of  the  pre-loaded
       desktop session, make sure the diskless systems get launched via Wake-on-LAN before 7:30am.

       desktop-autoloader  should not be executed directly, it is executed via CRON.  It gets only executed when
       the system is booted before a certain time of day (so  it  does  not  inflict  performance  breakdown  on
       already running sessions.

OPTIONS

       There are no options.
