.SH "NAME"
\fBxrdp\-sesrun\fR \- \fBxrdp\-sesman\fR(8) session launcher

.SH "SYNTAX"
.B xrdp\-sesrun
.I --help
.br

.B xrdp\-sesrun
.I [ options ] [ username ]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBxrdp\-sesrun\fR starts a session using \fBxrdp\-sesman\fR(8).
.br
This is a tool useful for testing. It simply behaves like xrdp when some
user logs in a new session and authenticates, thus starting a new session.

Default values for the options are set at compile-time. Run the utility with
the '--help' option to see what the defaults are for your installation.

If no username is used, the current username is used, and no password
needs to be provided. In this instance, it is important that any necessary
authentication tokens for a GUI session (e.g. a Kerberos ticket) have
already been acquired.

If a username is provided, a password must also be provided. In this instance
the utility prompts for a password if neither \fB-p\fR or \fB-F\fR is used.

.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B -g <width>x<height>
Set session geometry.
.br
Note that most configurations will resize the session on connection, so this
option may not do what you expect.
.TP
.B -b <bits-per-pixel>
Set session bits-per-pixel (colour depth). Some session types (i.e. Xorg)
will ignore this setting.
.TP
.B -t <session-type>
Session type - one of Xorg or Xvnc. Alternatively, for testing
only, use the numeric session code.
.TP
.B -D <directory>
Directory to run the new session in. Defaults to $HOME for the specified user.
.TP
.B -S <shell>
Specify an alternate shell to run, instead of the default window manager.
.TP
.B -p <password>
Password for user. USE FOR TESTING ONLY - the password will be visible
in the output of the \fBps\fR command.
.TP
.B -F <file-descriptor>
Specify a file descriptor (normally 0) to read the password in from. This
is a secure way to pass the password in to the utility.
.TP
.B -c <sesman-ini>
Specify a different sesman.ini file. This file is used to find out how to
connect to \fBxrdp\-sesman\fR.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.TP
.I SESRUN_LOG_LEVEL
Override the default logging level. One of "error", "warn", "info",
"debug", "trace" or a number 1-5.

.SH "EXAMPLES"
.TP
.B
xrdp-sesrun
Create a default session for the current user.
.TP
.B
xrdp-sesrun -F 0 user1 <passwd.txt
Create a default session for user \fBuser1\fR with a password from
a file
.TP
.B
xrdp-sesrun -t Xvnc -S /usr/bin/xterm user1
Create an extremely minimal Xvnc session for user \fBuser1\fR. This
could be useful for debugging why the standard session is not starting
properly. Note you would need to install the \fBxterm\fR utility
first. The \fBgnome\-terminal\fR utility probably won't work here.
