NAME

       systemd-xdg-autostart-generator - User unit generator for XDG autostart files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/user-generators/systemd-xdg-autostart-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-xdg-autostart-generator is a generator that creates .service units for XDG
       autostart[1] files. This permits desktop environments to delegate startup of these
       applications to systemd(1) .

       Units created by systemd-xdg-autostart-generator can be started by the desktop environment
       using "xdg-desktop-autostart.target". See systemd.special(7) for more details.

       XDG autostart may be conditionalized using both standardized and non-standardized keys. In
       order to handle these, the generator may create one or more ExecCondition= entries. For
       non-standardized keys, well-known helper binaries provided by Desktop Environments are
       used. All external helpers must detect their corresponding desktop environment and must
       return success when run in a different environment. This is important as all
       ExecCondition= directives must succeed for an application to be started.
