I've used cygwin/x to use remote wm and tools for a long time, and I use connection via SSH tunnel since connection between machines are not secured.
Now I would like to provide more generic way to login on remote machine, I can do this with startxwin.bat but I want to close initial _local_ xterm used to get login & password prompt after it has fired up session... How can be this done...?
Well let's narrow down this problem...
I've following batch file at desktop, that I run by doubleclicking:
---[runxwin.bat begin]---- @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET CYGWIN_ROOT=d:\cygwin SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH% SET XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults SET XCMSDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xcms.txt SET XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
:CLEANUP-FINISH if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix
run XWin -fullscreen -clipboard -silent-dup-error
run xterm -ms red -fg white -bg black -e "/usr/bin/ssh -f -Y -p 22022 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \~/.xsession && exit"
---[runxwin.bat end]---
at Linux side (Debian Sarge) I have .xsession with following lines:
---[.xsession begin]--- xterm & fcwm4 --daemon exec fxce4-panel ---[.xsession end]---
Now what happens? Initial, local xterm window is shown and I enter mypasswd. This far things work well.
Then I have found out two different end situations depending on exit and contents in .xsession :
I endup having initial login screen as empty, but sticking on desktop and everything is working
Whole SSH tunnel disappeares and I'm left with empty X root.
