NAME

       kdeinit_wrapper, kshell, kwrapper - start applications via kdeinit

SYNOPSIS

       kdeinit_wrapper application [arguments]

       kshell application [arguments]

       kwrapper application [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       kdeinit_wrapper, kshell and kwrapper start applications via kdeinit.

       kdeinit_wrapper   simply  passes  application  name  and  arguments  to
       kdeinit.

       kshell passes application name,  arguments,  complete  environment  and
       current working directory to kdeinit.

       kwrapper  tries  to  make  the  application  look  like it was actually
       started directly and not via kdeinit. Like kshell it passes application
       name,  arguments, complete environment and current working directory to
       kdeinit.
       Additionally it

           -  tries to redirect application output to the console  from  which
              kwrapper was started

           -  waits  for  the  application  to finish (but does not return its
              return value)

           -  passes most signals it  gets  to  the  process  of  the  started
              application

       The  signal  passing  allows  you  to  use  Ctrl-C to break the started
       application or Ctrl-Z to stop it.

       Note: With the use of kwrapper you will have one more  process  running
       and  also  the  signal  passing  and  output  redirection  may not work
       properly.
