I am under SR10.2 running X11. Is there a way to do the following: a) I find that I am not able to use % /com/xdmc lo to log out from an xterm. What is the ``cleaner'' way to log out from an xterm? b) My .login puts the DM window manager to sleep. Even after this, when I login, a DM window comes up. What is the best way to put DM to sleep forever? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. --Ramu Iyer Email: ramu%tcipro.uucp@unix.sri.com

Use "dmwin xdmc lo", since the xdmc must be run "inside" a display manager window. >b) My .login puts the DM window manager to sleep. Even after > this, when I login, a DM window comes up.

When you login to the display through the display manager, it will invoke /sys/dm/startup_login.{node_type}, where the node type is 1280bw, or 1280color, or 19l. In this file, there is usually a command which looks like this: (0,300)dr;(700,700)cp /sys/dm/login_sh This is there so that any user who logs in to that display will have at least this one shell running. Comment out the line, and handle the rest of the work in the per-user file invoked by the command cmdf user_data/startup_dm.{node_type} >Email: ramu%tcipro.uucp@unix.sri.com ...walt...
