NAME
     dtsessionfile - format and	location of desktop session files

DESCRIPTION
     At	session	startup, the session  manager  will  restart  any
     applications  that	 were  saved  as part of the session. The
     system default set	of applications	to be restored as part of
     the    user's    Initial	 Session    can	  be   found   in
     /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.session. This file  should  not  be
     edited as it will be unconditionally overwritten upon subse-
     quent desktop installations.

     A system administrator may	replace	the set	 of  applications
     that  are	restored as part of the	user's Initial Session by
     creating  a  file	named	/etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.session.
     Unlike  the resource files, this file will	be used	as a com-
     plete replacement for the desktop default	file,  so  it  is
     valid to make a copy of the system	default	file and make any
     necessary modifications.

FILE FORMAT
     A session file contains a line for	each  application  to  be
     started  during  a	 user's	 Initial  Session. Empty lines or
     lines beginning with a "#"	are ignored. Each application  to
     be	 started  should  have	a line in the session file of the
     form:

       dtsmcmd -cmd "application command line and options"

     For example, to start the file manager with options:

       dtsmcmd -cmd "/usr/dt/bin/dtfile	-dir ~ -geometry +700+0"

     More specifically,	a session file consists	of  one	 or  more
     SessionLine's:

     SessionLine    = Comment |	SessionSpec | <empty line>
     Comment	    = "#" {<any	character  except  null	 or  new-
		    line>}
     SessionSpec    = "dtsmcmd -cmd " Quote CommandSpec	Quote
     Quote	    = """
     CommandSpec    = "<application command line and options>"

		    Elements separated by vertical  bar	 (|)  are
		    alternatives.   Curly braces ({...}) indicate
		    zero or more repetitions of	the enclosed ele-
		    ments.    Quotes   ("...")	are  used  around
		    literal characters.
