Ok, I've RTFM'ed the manual until I am blue in the face, but no luck in
finding what I need. I run the Xapollo server in X-own's root mode,
and use dm to do the login/logout. This way I get xwindows and twm as
a window manager, but I get the nice dm login/logout message windows
accross the bottom of the screen.
The problem: When you use X, and create Xwindows on your display via an
rsh to some other host, if you then go to the DM login
window and type lo (logout), all windows except the remote
client windows are closed by the Xapollo server. The other
windows remain active and up on the display, A somewhat
distressing situation.
What I need to do is to send the Xapollo server a HUP signal, but I want
to do it only when I type 'lo' in the DM login window.
So, Is there some way to do this? I can get the pid of the Xapollo process
and send it the HUP if I can run a script prior to loging out. Does the
DM look for the equivalent of a .logout file somewhere, when you logout?

P.S> I could use xdm, but I want to use DM, to log in for other reasons.
I just can't believe there is no way to do this.

From /sys/help/lo: You can execute a DM command script automatically at logout. The logout script must be in a file named `node_data/startup_logout.type, where type is one of the standard display type extensions used for startup filenames (for example, 19l, color, none, and so on). Note that you cannot start up new processes with cp, cps, or cpo from this script, because the DM is in the process of shutting down all existing processes, unless you specify the -w option with cps or cpd.
