sway-autostart-i3ipc

A smart but also lazy login autostart manager for i3/Sway. Will conditionally exec other things defined in a YML dict.

Required i3/Sway config line:

    exec path/to/startup.py

Work days may be temporarily disabled by creating and removing ~/.vacation when appropriate.

The config may be chosen with -c path/to/autostart.yml.

The default is XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart-i3ipc.yml (typically in ~/.config)
