You can also exec it if you'd rather do that... mkdir ~/.xinitrc.d echo "exec /usr/X11/bin/twm" > ~/.xinitrc.d/99-twm.sh chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc.d/99-twm.sh > I guess my follow-up question is: > > If I need to invoke another process before the wm starts, how is that done? Just put it in your xinitrc.d script or in a different one that would execute before yours. > In the "wrong" .xinitrc method, that pre-process just comes on a line before > the wm command. Yeah, that will work here... these are just bourne shell scripts... > I could do: USERWM="/usr/bin/somethingelse && /usr/X11/bin/twm". Is there a > better way? No, that is definitely not what you should do. _______________________________________________ Xquartz-dev mailing list Xquartz-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/xquartz-dev
