[comp.windows.x] Need help starting X in a Sun 3/50 ...

vartan@spam.istc.sri.com (10/24/89)

I'm having trouble starting X in my workstation.  I would like to do
the following:

Run X11 R3 in such a way that typing "exit" in the console window will
gracefully exit, terminating all X-related processes, and nicely
return me to my shell from which I invoked X initially.

I did this once before, but can't seem to remember how I had it
set-up.  I think I had a short (3-line) script that called xinit and
set up a few shell variables.  Then, once the initial xterm window
started by xinit came up, I executed another very short script that 
invoked the real console xterm, etc....

Below is a .xinitrc file I've been trying to use.  Any suggestions,
either to modify or scrap completely and try another approach?

Please respond to me, I'll post replies.

Thanks for your help.
