.SH NAME
hopman-gtk2
Monitor insertion/removal of hotplug partitions, mount, unmount and open them.
.SH SYNOPSIS
hopman-gtk2 [generic Xwindow options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is hopman with a GTK+-2 graphic interface. The operation of hopman is
governed by its configuration file which is searched in .hopmanrc in the
user's home directory or in /etc/default/hopmanrc. Hopman shows a list of
hotplug (removable) mass storage  partitions; it is invisible when there is
no hot-plug partition. The configuration file determines what is shown, but,
at least the filesystem's label or the partition's name is shown.
.br
A mouse click on a partition opens a menu of actions allowing to mount or
unmount the filesystem contained in the partition or to open it in a file
manager or a terminal. A partition must be "mounted" to become available to
the applications, and it must be "unmounted" to complete input/output
operations before it is removed. The external commands used to mount, unmount
and open directories can be specified in the configuration file.
.br
If the configuration file defines it, hopman stores its process-id in a file
(pid-file). If a pid-file is specified, at startup, the application kills the
previous instance, if any; on exit it removes the pid-file; for this purpose
it intercepts the SIGTERM and SIGINT signals to exit gracefully.
.br
Sending the signal SIGHUP to the program toggles window's visibility. See
hopmanrc for more details on this feature.
