It would be nice if the user could specify, in his
$HOME/.icewm/preferences file, a shell script filename for using as a
(first) startup shell script. This could come in two flavours: one,
where the script would be run only at IceWM's first start-up (e.g.
"FirstStartupScript"); other, where the script would be run only at any
IceWM start/restart ("StartupScript").

Hm, how ist that different to those?
file:///usr/share/doc/icewm/html/icewm-3.html#ss3.3

See icewm-session description for details, you need to run that one.

Uhm... as in 3.3? The only missing feature is a missing "restart"
script, IIRC it should have been added to recent version, but I cannot
discover it in the CVS repository yet.

Hi,

I am triaging some old issues and found this one.

First, we have a startup script now. It's called.. .icewm/startup and
the opposite is called "shutdown".

What's not covered here is the restart - do you really need it?

Also the idea of "first start" is something which does not make much
sense, or if it does, you can catch the situation via a restart script.
So do you really need it?

Best regards,
Eduard.
