Detailed Description

KAutostart provides a programmatic means to control the state of autostart services on a per-user basis.

This is useful for applications that wish to offer a configurable means to allow the application to be autostarted.

By using this class you future-proof your applications against potential future or platform-specific changes to the autostart mechanism(s).

Typical usage might look like:

KAutostart autostart; // without an entryName arg, gets name from KAboutData
autostart.setAutostarts(true); // will now start up when the user logs in
// set the value in our configuration settings to reflect whether or not
// we will actually start up on log in
config.setAutoStart(autostart.autoStarts());

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum KAutostart::Condition

Flags for each of the conditions that may affect whether or not a service actually autostarted on login.

Enumerator
NoConditions 
CheckCommand 

an executable that is checked for existence by name

CheckCondition 

autostart condition will be checked too (KDE-specific)

Since
4.3
CheckAll 

all necessary conditions will be checked

Since
4.3

Definition at line 80 of file kautostart.h.

enum KAutostart::StartPhase

Enumerates the various autostart phases that occur during start-up.

Enumerator
BaseDesktop 

the essential desktop services such as panels and window managers

DesktopServices 

services that should be available before most interactive applications start but that aren't part of the base desktop.

This would include things such as clipboard managers and mouse gesture tools.

Applications 

everything else that doesn't belong in the above two categories, including most system tray applications, system monitors and interactive applications

Definition at line 103 of file kautostart.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KAutostart::KAutostart ( const QString &  entryName = QString(),
QObject *  parent = 0 
)
explicit

Creates a new KAutostart object that represents the autostart service "entryName".

If the service already exists in the system then the values associated with that service, such as the executable command, will be loaded as well.

Note that unless this service is explicitly set to autostart, simply creating a KAutostart object will not result in the service being autostarted on next log in.

If no such service is already registered and the command to be executed on startup is not the same as entryName, then you will want to set the associated command with setExec(const QString&)

See also
setExec
Parameters
entryNamethe name used to identify the service. If none is provided then it uses the name registered with KAboutData.

Member Function Documentation

void KAutostart::addToAllowedEnvironments ( const QString &  environment)

Adds an environment to the list of environments this service may start in.

See also
setAllowedEnvironments(), removeFromAllowedEnvironments()

Definition at line 289 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::addToExcludedEnvironments ( const QString &  environment)

Adds an environment to the list of environments this service may not be autostarted in.

See also
removeFromExcludedEnvironments()

Definition at line 329 of file kautostart.cpp.

QStringList KAutostart::allowedEnvironments ( ) const

Returns the list of environments (e.g.

"KDE") this service is allowed to start in. Use checkAllowedEnvironment() or autostarts() for actual checks.

This does not take other autostart conditions into account. If any environment is added to the allowed environments list, then only those environments will be allowed to autoload the service. It is not allowed to specify both allowed and excluded environments at the same time.

See also
setAllowedEnvironments()

Definition at line 274 of file kautostart.cpp.

bool KAutostart::autostarts ( const QString &  environment = QString(),
Conditions  check = NoConditions 
) const

Returns whether or not the service represented by entryName in the autostart system is set to autostart at login or not.

Parameters
environmentif provided the check will be performed as if being loaded in that environment
checkautostart conditions to check for (see commandToCheck())
See also
setAutostarts()

Definition at line 115 of file kautostart.cpp.

bool KAutostart::checkAllowedEnvironment ( const QString &  environment) const

Checks whether autostart is allowed in the given environment, depending on allowedEnvironments() and excludedEnvironments().

Since
4.3

Definition at line 160 of file kautostart.cpp.

QString KAutostart::command ( ) const

Returns the associated command for this autostart service.

See also
setCommand()

Definition at line 175 of file kautostart.cpp.

QString KAutostart::commandToCheck ( ) const

Returns the executable to check for when attempting to autostart this service.

If the executable is not found in the user's environment, it will not autostart.

See also
setCommandToCheck()

Definition at line 210 of file kautostart.cpp.

QStringList KAutostart::excludedEnvironments ( ) const

Returns the list of environments this service is explicitly not allowed to start in.

Use checkAllowedEnvironment() or autostarts() for actual checks.

This does not take other autostart conditions such as into account. It is not allowed to specify both allowed and excluded environments at the same time.

See also
setExcludedEnvironments()

Definition at line 314 of file kautostart.cpp.

bool KAutostart::isServiceRegistered ( const QString &  entryName)
static

Checks whether or not a service by the given name entryName is registered with the autostart system.

Does not check whether or not it is set to actually autostart or not.

Parameters
entryNamethe name of the service to check for

Definition at line 205 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::removeFromAllowedEnvironments ( const QString &  environment)

Removes an environment to the list of environments this service may start in.

See also
addToAllowedEnvironments()

Definition at line 301 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::removeFromExcludedEnvironments ( const QString &  environment)

Removes an environment to the list of environments this service may not be autostarted in.

See also
addToExcludedEnvironments()

Definition at line 341 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::setAllowedEnvironments ( const QStringList &  environments)

Sets the environments this service is allowed to start in.

See also
allowedEnvironments(), addToAllowedEnvironments()

Definition at line 279 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::setAutostarts ( bool  autostart)

Sets the given exec to start automatically at login.

Parameters
autostartwill register with the autostart facility when true and deregister when false
See also
autostarts()

Definition at line 104 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::setCommand ( const QString &  command)

Set the associated command for this autostart service.

See also
command()

Definition at line 180 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::setCommandToCheck ( const QString &  exec)

Sets the executable to check for the existence of when autostarting this service.

See also
commandToCheck()

Definition at line 215 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::setExcludedEnvironments ( const QStringList &  environments)

excludedEnvironments(), addToExcludedEnvironments()

Definition at line 319 of file kautostart.cpp.

void KAutostart::setStartPhase ( KAutostart::StartPhase  phase)

Note that this is KDE specific and may not work in other environments.

See also
StartPhase, startPhase()
