Hi all!
If I start X with startx command and then open a xterm and run 'ps a', I get:
..
13237 ?? R 0:04.69 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /home/gar/.serverauth.6053
(Xorg)
18053 ?? I 0:00.01 X: [priv] (Xorg)
9547 p1 Ss 0:00.02 -ksh (ksh)
1024 p1 R+ 0:00.00 ps -xa
26534 C0 Is 0:00.06 -ksh (ksh)
6053 C0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ./bin/startx
21582 C0 I+ 0:00.01 xinit /home/gar/.xinitrc -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X -auth
/home/gar/.serverauth.6053
26851 C0 I 0:00.00 sh /home/gar/.xinitrc
..
mh, ok.
If I start X with startx command and _server options_, like this:
$ startx -- -br -nolisten tcp -once
and then open a xterm and run 'ps a', I get:
..
13237 ?? R 0:04.69 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /home/gar/.serverauth.6054
(Xorg)
18053 ?? I 0:00.01 X: [priv] (Xorg)
9547 p1 Ss 0:00.02 -ksh (ksh)
1024 p1 R+ 0:00.00 ps -xa
26534 C0 Is 0:00.06 -ksh (ksh)
27672 C0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startx /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx /usr/X11R6/bin/startx ...
12927 C0 I+ 0:00.01 xinit /home/gar/.xinitrc -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br
-nolisten tcp -once -auth /home/gar/.serverauth.27672
17622 C0 I 0:00.00 sh /home/gar/.xinitrc
..
Now, is this line a bit strange?
27672 C0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startx /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx /usr/X11R6/bin/startx ...
For each server argument passed to startx _after_ '--', there is a
/usr/.../startx, caused by (in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx):
..
whoseargs="client"
while [ x"$1" != x ]; do
case "$1" in
# '' required to prevent cpp from treating "/*" as a C comment.
/''*|\./''*)
if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then
if [ x"$clientargs" = x ]; then
client="$1"
else
clientargs="$clientargs $1"
fi
else
if [ x"$serverargs" = x ]; then
server="$1"
else
serverargs="$serverargs $1"
fi
fi
;;
--)
whoseargs="server"
;;
*)
if [ "$whoseargs" = "client" ]; then
clientargs="$clientargs $1"
else
# display must be the FIRST server argument
if [ x"$serverargs" = x ] && \
expr "$1" : ':[0-9][0-9]*$' > /dev/null 2>&1; then
display="$1"
else
serverargs="$serverargs $1"
fi
fi

done
.
comments?
C.
