EXMH REFERENCE(1) User Commands EXMH REFERENCE(1) EXMH REFERENCE CHAPTER Information for the "purple pages". COMMAND LINE OPTIONS There are just a handful of command line options for exmh. Note that Xt-like command line options are not supported because _e_x_m_h is based on Tk, not Xt. -bgAction _a_c_t_i_o_n Override background processing setting. Valid actions are: off, count, msgchk, flist, and inc. -bgPeriod _m_i_n_u_t_e_s Override background period setting. -geometry _g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y Initial geometry to use for the window. Exmh remembers the geometry when you change it interactively, so you do not really need to specify it each time on the command line. -iconposition _g_e_o_m_e_t_r_y Initial position to use for the icon in the form +_x_o_f_f+_y_o_f_f. You can use minus signs instead of + to position relative to the right and bottom of the screen. -iconic Begin execution iconic. - sedit Override the editor command defined in Preferences and use the built-in editor (sedit) instead. _f_o_l_d_e_r If the argument is not one of the flags given above, it is assumed to be the name of a folder. In this case _e_x_m_h begins in that folder. MAIN BUTTONS AND MENUS center; c s s lw(1.25i)1 lw(1.25i)1 lw(3.0i)1.
