XRUNCLIENT(1)					XRUNCLIENT(1)

NAME
       xrunclient - launch an X client

SYNOPSIS
       xrunclient [ -display displayname ] [ -t seconds ] command
       [ args ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       The xrunclient program is used to launch an X client  pro-
       gram  from  .xinitrc  or a similar script.  It waits until
       the client creates a top level window  before  exiting  so
       that  clients  start smoothly and sequentially, instead of
       chaotically competing for system resources.

OPTIONS
       -display displayname
	       This option specifies the display to  which  xrun-
	       client  will  connect to determine when the client
	       program has created a window.  xrunclient will set
	       the  DISPLAY  environment  variable  to	the  same
	       value, so it is not necessary to also give a -dis-
	       play option to the client program.

       -timeout seconds
	       This  option  specifies the length of time in sec-
	       onds that xrunclient will wait for the client pro-
	       gram  to create a window.  If the timeout occurs,
	       xrunclient will exit with  a  status  of 0.   The
	       default timeout is 15 seconds.

EXAMPLE
       Below is an example .xinitrc file using xrunclient to con-
       trol client startup:

	       xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
	       xrunclient xterm -C -title Console -geometry 80x24+0+0
	       twm &
	       xrunclient xsetroot -solid gray
	       xrunclient xclock -geometry 50x50-0+0 -bw 0
	       xrunclient xload -geometry 50x50-50+0 -bw 0
	       xrunclient xterm -geometry 80x24+0-0
	       wait

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number if  the
	       -display option is not used.
