StartupApplications Class Reference
[QtBaseModule]

Daemon configuration

The configuration files for background applications can be found in the following path positions:

1. $HOME/Applications/daemons
2. $QPE_IMAGE/etc/daemons
3. $QTOPIA_PATH/etc/daemons

If the same background application is configured by more than one configuration file the above directory order determines the priority. This allows the user to override the system behavior.

The configuration file has the following form:

    [DaemonParameter]
    ApplicationName=<Application Name>
    ServiceName=<Service Name>
    TaskGroup=<Qt Extended Task Group>
    Silent=<true/false>
    StartupMessage=<Message>
    RestartMessage=<Message>
    ShutdownMessage=<Message>

Each option maps to the following functionality:

Here is a concrete example, specifying that the MessageServer application should be started with the 'startup' application group, and should be restarted if it terminates:

    [DaemonParameter]
    ApplicationName=messageserver
    TaskGroup=startup
    StartupMessage=raise()
    RestartMessage=raise()

This class is part of the Qt Extended server and cannot be used by other Qt Extended applications.
