NAME
nodm - X display manager for automatic logins
SYNOPSIS
nodm [options]
DESCRIPTION
nodm is a minimal display manager that simply logs in as a given user
and starts an X session, without asking for username or password.
On a normal computer, using nodm is a big security issue because it
would give anyone access to the computer.
However, there are cases where automatic login is needed: for example
in an embedded system such as a mobile phone, or in a kiosk setup, or
in a control panel for industrial machinery. For those cases, nodm is
simple to setup, lightweight, and it should do exactly the right thing.
OPTIONS
--help print this help message
--version
print nodm’s version number
--session=cmd
run cmd instead of /usr/sbin/nodm (use for testing)
