Does this give you a xterm terminal and a xterm prompt, at which you
start your Strathclyde stuff?
Yes, it gives me an X environment (with a console and 2 X terminals) as
specified in my .xinitrc file
Does the quite mode you mentioned fit in here somewhere?
I'm sorry, I don't use startx, with or without arguments. But I do
notice that if at the bash prompt I try
startx # no arguments
As an aside, if I use startx without arguments the process kind of
crashes (i.e. no X environment is set up). I'm not sure, but I suspect
this is because I have a 2-monitor setup, and the system perhaps gets a
little confused without arguments.
then this generates a lot of gunk amongst which I find the line
XWin was started ...
Same here.
and at the end of which I have one xterm window (not the 3 that your
.xinitrc creates: do you need 3, or indeed any?)
Not really, but it's what I'm kind of used to :-)
So my rather unhelpful response isn't (I'm afraid) "tweak your existing
startup protocol to include the switch -nolisten local" because I don't
know how to do this, I'm sorry. But you could try
bash # to start bash
$ run XWin -nolisten local # at the bash prompt
$ ps # to check you've got a running XWin
$ xterm -display localhost:0.0 # to get your xterm terminal with
prompt, if needed
$ {whatever, to start the Strathclyde stuff}
and see whether you end up with what you are familiar with AND it's
quiet?
I might try that, thanks, although on the other hand it isn't really
such a big issue because the 'ZoneAlarm noise level' is rather moderate
really - I was just curious about what is going on.
Sorry, probably not very helpful. (IKWWFMATWID, meaning "I know what
works for me and that's what I do", pronounced I Don't Give A Toss About
Anybody Else. Not in fact true, but it might as well be ...)
I know it's not true, otherwise you wouldn't have responded in the first
place :-)
