- NOTE: The _s_t_a_r_t_x script supplied with the X11 distribution
- is a sample designed more as a base for customization than
- as a finished product. Site administrators are urged to
- customize it for their site. And to update this manual page
- when they do!
-
- The _s_t_a_r_t_x script is a front end to _x_i_n_i_t that provides a
- somewhat nicer user interface for running a single session
- of the X Window System. It is typically run with no
- arguments.
-
- To determine the client to run, _s_t_a_r_t_x first looks for a
- file called ._x_i_n_i_t_r_c in the user's home directory. If that
- is not found, it uses the file _x_i_n_i_t_r_c in the _x_i_n_i_t library
- directory. If command line client options are given, they
- override this behavior. To determine the server to run,
- _s_t_a_r_t_x first looks for a file called ._x_s_e_r_v_e_r_r_c in the
- user's home directory. If that is not found, it uses the
- file _x_s_e_r_v_e_r_r_c in the _x_i_n_i_t library directory. If command
- line server options are given, they override this behavior.
- Users rarely need to provide a ._x_s_e_r_v_e_r_r_c file. See the
- _x_i_n_i_t(1) manual page for more details on the arguments.
-
- The ._x_i_n_i_t_r_c is typically a shell script which starts many
- clients according to the user's preference. When this shell
- script exits, _s_t_a_r_t_x kills the server and performs any other
- session shutdown needed. Most of the clients started by
- ._x_i_n_i_t_r_c should be run in the background. The last client
- should run in the foreground; when it exits, the session
- will exit. People often choose a session manager, window
- manager, or _x_t_e_r_m as the ``magic'' client.
-
- EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEE
- Below is a sample ._x_i_n_i_t_r_c that starts several applications
- and leaves the window manager running as the ``last''
- application. Assuming that the window manager has been
- configured properly, the user then chooses the ``Exit'' menu
- item to shut down X.

- $(_H_O_M_E)/._x_i_n_i_t_r_c Client to run. Typically a shell
- script which runs many programs in
- the background.
-
- $(_H_O_M_E)/._x_s_e_r_v_e_r_r_c Server to run. The default is _X.
-
- <_X_R_o_o_t>/_l_i_b/_X_1_1/_x_i_n_i_t/_x_i_n_i_t_r_c
- Client to run if the user has no
- ._x_i_n_i_t_r_c file. <XRoot> refers to
- the root of the X11 install tree.
-
- <_X_R_o_o_t>/_l_i_b/_X_1_1/_x_i_n_i_t/_x_s_e_r_v_e_r_r_c
- Client to run if the user has no
- ._x_s_e_r_v_e_r_r_c file. This is only
- needed if the server needs special
- arguments or is not named. <XRoot>
- refers to the root of the X11
- install tree.
