sway-autostart-i3ipc

A smart but also lazy login autostart manager for i3/Sway.

Will conditionally exec other things defined in a YML dict. ie: every day, work days, or weekends

Required i3/Sway config line:

    exec .config/sway/scripts/startup.py

Assuming a copy of this script is placed in a newly-made directory, ~/.config/sway/scripts/

Options

  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Path to the YML configuration file. (default: /home/user/.config/sway/autostart.yml)
