Launch the Photon window system
ph [-cNsvx] [-n name]
Neutrino
- -c
- Open a terminal “dittoed” to the console.
- -N
- Don't explicitly load shared libraries; let the applications
load them as required.
- -n name
- Use the device name to start Photon (defaults
to /dev/photon). Use this option if you must run
more than one Photon window system on a single node.
- -s
- Safe mode. Use this option if Photon doesn't display correctly
on start up. This option forces Photon to start in 16-color VGA
mode.
- -v
- Be verbose.
- -x
- Don't allow X11 applications in Photon.
The ph utility is a shell script that starts the Photon
window system. The script starts the following, as required:
- the font manager
- Photon (Photon server)
- inputtrap to detect the input hardware and start the input manager
(see below)
- pwm (Photon Window Manager)
- shelf (Photon Shelf Manager)
- If you have a $HOME/.ph/phapps script
file, Photon launches the executables listed in this file. This
is a good place to put applications that you want to start each
time Photon boots. This file must be executable (use chmod +x phapps).
|
If you've defined the PHGFX and PHINPUT environment
variables, ph uses their values to start graphics/input
drivers. |
Start Photon:
ph
- ${HOME}/.ph/phapps
- Contains a user's list of applications for Photon to launch automatically
when it starts. This file must be executable.
- /etc/system/config/nophoton
- If this file exists, the system doesn't boot into Photon.
The file's contents aren't important; you can just
touch the file to create it.
The ph command sets or uses these environment variables:
- ABLPATH
- If a language or path to the translations directory
isn't set, it's assigned to PHOTON_PATH/translations.
- ABLANG
- If this environment variable isn't set, ph uses
the setting in /etc/photon/ABLANG. If LOGNAME is
set and the $HOME/.ph/.ABLANG file exists, the setting
in this file overrides the global setting.
- LOGNAME
- If this environment variable isn't set (such as when ph is
run in the sysinit file), ph runs
phlogin, a login program for Photon.
- PATH
- Include the directories containing the Photon executables.
- PHEXIT_DISABLE
- Turn off phlogin's Exit button.
- PHFONT
- Set the registered name of the font server (e.g. /dev/phfont).
- PHFONTOPTS
- Pass options to the font server.
- PHGFX
- The full command that you want to use instead of the default commands
to start the graphics driver.
For example, on an Aspen/Tahoe board, you could specify:
export PHGFX="io-graphics \
-amode=/usr/photon/config/q2sd.conf \
-dldevg-q2sd.so -g640x480x16"
- PHINPUT
- The full command that you want to use instead of the default commands
to start the input driver.
- PHOTON
- Name of the Photon device (usually /dev/photon;
the -n option overrides this.
- PHOTON_PATH
- Name of the root directory containing Photon files (usually /usr/photon).
- PHWM
- Name of Photon Window Manager to start (defaults to
pwm).
- PHWMOPTS
- Specify options for pwm.
