- We are using Tektronix Xp27 TekXpress to login remotely via telnet sessions to
- a Sun Sparc 4.1.1 file server. Once logged-in, we run a small c-shell script
- that imitates .xinit to run olwm and startup a couple of openwindow tools.
-
- The scripts sets the DISPLAY variable by parsing the output of "who am i",
- runs the user's .Xdefaults if he has one, else, the sytem defaults; it runs
- the user'
- s openwin-init if he has one, else, the system default; ditto for openwin-sys.
-
- xrdb .Xdefaults runs 1st
- then openwin-sys
- then openwin-init
- then olwm -3 &
-
- Users terminate their sessions by clicking exit on the workspace window.
-
-
-
- However, after all client windows, including the Tek's telnet session window,
- are closed, the root window color and cursor remain on the tek's screen.
-
- This has the undesireable side effect:
-
- when the next user starts another telnet session by pressing the tek's setup
- key, then clicking on the telnet session option to connect to the sun sparc
- file server, and run this c-shell script to start his openwindows,
-
-
- the window characteristics (fonts, fontsizes, colors, etc) are those
- of the previous user's--even though the c-shell script does an xrdb .Xdefaults
- on HII
- S .Xdefaults file!!
-
- The only solution we have come up so far is to have each user, manually reset
- the
-
- the Tektronix server by clicking on the Tek's setup menu. This is a great
- incovenience.
-
- Is there something we can put on the c-shell script (on the remote sparc
- file server) that would automatically reset the Tektronix Xp27 TekXpress when
- the user exits using the Workspace exit option???
-
- thanx for answering,
