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)
