+.SH NAME
+desktop-autoloader \- Desktop Session Autoloader Launch Script
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B desktop-autoloader
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBdesktop-autoloader\fR is a tiny script that loads a virtual desktop session in Xvfb.
+Its purpose is to fill the kernel's file system RAM cache with all necessary files
+needed for running a real desktop session (of the same type).
+.PP
+The Desktop Session Autoloader is a nice-to-have tool on diskless clients
+(aka LTSP Fat Clients). It accelerates the login of the
+first-user-of-the-day tremendously. To take advantage of the pre-loaded
+desktop session, make sure the diskless systems get launched via Wake-on-LAN
+before 7:30am.
+.PP
+\fBdesktop-autoloader\fR should not be executed directly, it is executed via CRON.
+It gets only executed when the system is booted before a certain time of day (so
+it does not inflict performance breakdown on already running sessions.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+There are no options.
