I am trying to start up Xnews in an X11ONLY mode. The problem is I
cannot find a way to gracefully exit xnews. In other words, with a
'normal' X server, you start it something like:
xinit xterm -- Xsun
Then when you quit the xterm, the server exits. I have been unable
to successfully do this with xnews. HELP!
Thanks,
Greg
P.S. Is there a better place to post questions about Xnews, ie. is
there an xnews group/mailing list?

I package the call to start the server in a script (sunX): #!/bin/sh OPENWINHOME=${OPENWINHOME:-"/import/openwin"} export OPENWINHOME X11ONLY=t export X11ONLY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${OPENWINHOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-/usr/lib}" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=${PATH}:${OPENWINHOME}/bin export PATH exec xnews then use xinit myxtools -- sunX to start the server.
