WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)	    General Commands Manual	  WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)

NAME
       wmanagerrc-update -- update your	wmanager settings automatically

SYNOPSIS
       wmanagerrc-update

DESCRIPTION
       The wmanagerrc-update program creates or	updates	the ~/.wmanagerrc file
       with  a	list of	X11 window managers currently installed	on the system.
       On systems that do not have a convention	for registering	X window  man-
       agers,	wmanagerrc-update   simply   copies   the   contents   of  the
       ~/.wmanagerrc.user file to ~/.wmanagerrc.

       On  systems  that  register  the	 installed  X  window  managers,   the
       wmanagerrc-update  program adds all of them to the wmanager(1) configu-
       ration so that they are available soon after installation.   Currently,
       only    Debian	GNU/Linux   and	  similar   systems   that   use   the
       update-alternaties(8) mechanism are supported.  Locally installed  win-
       dow   managers	and   things   not   registered	 as  alternatives  for
       x-window-manager(1) can be added	to the file ~/.wmanagerrc.user in  the
       .wmanagerrc   format;   see   the   wmanager(1)	README	file,  usually
       /usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz,   for	  more	  information.	   The
       wmanagerrc-update    program    uses    the    entries	 first	  from
       ~/.wmanagerrc.user, then	from the the registered	 window	 managers,  in
       the  order of update-alternatives(8) priorities.	 You can override this
       by listing entries in wanted order in ~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated by
       whitespace.

BUGS
       Concurrent wmanagerrc-update  processes	may  clobber  the  .wmanagerrc
       file.
