Thanks. I'll give that a try and see what happens. I really appreciate all the help.

Not quite... You don;t want to exec startkde since it will take over the shell. I think this will work: .xinitrc:
#!/bin/bash
EXEC="/home/demo/runtime/bin/DEMO.sh"
$EXEC start > /tmp/DEMO.log 2>&1
startkde
$EXEC stop
Discussion ------------- Unless "DEMO.sh start" launches the application and then exits, you will have to put it into background, otherwise you will never get to startkde.
startkde should "block" until the user exits so a wait would be unnecessary

Joseph, Thanks for the info. Would the follwing work for waiting..?
.xinitrc:
#!/bin/bash
EXEC="/home/demo/runtime/bin/DEMO.sh"
$EXEC start >/tmp/DEMO.log 2>&1
sleep 20;
exec startkde &
wait;
$EXEC stop
#End of xinitrc

Joseph and Mark,
Thanks again. The .xsession did the trick! I read the info Joseph pointed me to; However, I'm now in the same situation but the reverse timing. Is there an equivalent file which gets sourced on logout? I'll need to reset the software on logout so the next user that comes along gets a fresh runtime. I'm half way there.. Thanks.
Jonathan
