IIRC As far as I could work out this is used to determine whether a process is running or not... this is the first parameter passed to startproc later on after the -p option... man startproc gives some more info.... (I have no idea what would happen if the -p option gets the executable as the pid file but I do not think it would be good...) but early on in the script this variable is set for xdm so I would think it a rather good idea to set it for the the ACDM module as a discrete PID file (it cannot do any harm, I cannot remember whether I found out that entranced crashed without it or not, and I had a fair few crashes getting this to work). >> and (at approx line 125) I changed XDMOPTIONS which should contain the X >> options required by the ACDM binary to load...
