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.
