- On logging in to a DECStation5000/200 I have sitting at my desk at
- the moment I would like to automatically:
- kill the DecWindow Manager
- use twm
- set a few friendly X clients
- start-up epoch (which resides on another host) in an iconified state
- have the DEC Session Manager and DECterm console window iconified
-
- I'm a bit of a novice at this sort of thing so here's my .X11Startup file
-
- # Kill the DecWindow Manager
- kill -9 `ps -ax | grep dxwm | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $1}'`
- # Use the Tab Window Manager (is nicer anyway no?)
- twm &
- # Start up any other X clients that are desired.
- xsetroot -bitmap ...
- xbiff ... &
- dxclock ... &
- xload ... &
- xterm -iconic -title elm -e elm &
- xterm ... &
- xrsh otherhost /usr/local/bin/epoch ... &
-
- which does most of the job. However I don't know how to have the session
- manager and console iconified automatically. Also the "xrsh ... epoch" exits
- immeadiately. suggestions/help welcomed and yes i know i can set everything
- up just as i'd like and then xlock when I'm not around but others need access
- to the console.
