Launch version 1.3 V1.3 adds a logout hook. The supplied binary executes on Motorola hardware under NS2.1 and above. The source compiles under 3.0 with just header compatability warnings, so if someone feels like compiling an Intel binary and submitting it to the archives, feel free. Launch is an application that allows you to initialize and clean up your workspace when you log in/out: when Launch is auto-launched, it executes the script ~/.Launch; when you logout, Launch executes the script ~/.Logout. Launch can be used to, for example: · launch applications that you would usually startup when you log in (but that you don't need to have in the dock); · place an image in the background when you log in; · play a login/logout sound. See the example scripts. I'm not really sure if there is a need for Launch now with the various dock-extenders, but it's free so you can't complain. This particular version was inspired by someone asking for a means to set up a user definable logout hook.
