NAME
     gdmdynamic - GDM Dynamic Server Management

SYNOPSIS
     gdmdynamic [-a display | -r display | -d display |  -l  pat-
     tern] [--help]

DESCRIPTION
     gdmdynamic allows the management of displays  in  a  dynamic
     fashion.   It  is typically used in environments where it is
     not possible to list the possible displays in the GDM confi-
     guration  files.   The  gdmdynamic  command  can  be used to
     create a new display on a particular display number, run all
     newly created displays, or remove a display.  The gdmdynamic
     can also be used to list  all  attached  displays,  or  only
     attached displays that match a pattern.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -a display      Add a new display configuration, leaving  it
                     in  the  DISPLAY_CONFIG  state.  The display
                     will  not  actually  be  started  until  the
                     display  is  released  by calling gdmdynamic
                     again  with  the  -r  option.   The  display
                     option  for  this  option  may  include  the
                     Xserver command to run for this  display  by
                     specifying  the  value  as  display=command.
                     This is optional, and  the  default  Xserver
                     command  will  be used if no command is pro-
                     vided on the command line.



     -d display      Delete a display, killing the X  server  and
                     purging the display configuration.



     -h, --help      Display detailed usage message.



     -l pattern      List  displays  that  are  started  via  the
                     gdmdynamic command.
                      Without a pattern,  all  attached  displays
                     are  listed.   With  a pattern, all attached
                     displays match using  glob  characters  '*',
                     '?' and '[]'.
