session-migration(1) Linux User's Manual session-migration(1)
NAME
session-migration - Migrate in user session settings.
SYNOPSIS
session-migration [options]
DESCRIPTION
The session-migration program can be used to migrate in-session user
data when a program is evolving its configuration, or needing to have
files moved and so on. This program is generally autostarted at the
very beginning of the session and integrates caching capabilities.
The general usage is to ship an executable file in XDG_DATA_DIR/ses-
sion-migration/scripts. This one will be executed the next time the
user log into the session. It will executes all executable files there
in ascii order, one after another.
Even if the program tries to cache some timestamp and scripts to not be
launched twiced (they are skipped on subsequent runs), the executables
file should be idempotent.
OPTIONS
--dry-run
This parameter enables to run the session-migration tool without
really launching the scripts and marking them are migrated. It's
generally used with --verbose for debugging purposes.
--file filename
This parameter, followed by a path or filename, tells sesions-
migration to only consider that script file and ignoring
XDG_DATA_DIR. It won't log as well this special file as being
migrated.
--help Display a quick command help.
--verbose
Show a lot of verbose information. It can be used by the user to
debug configuration issues;
