[comp.unix.ultrix] Restarting DECwindows servers

iglesias@orion.oac.uci.edu (Mike Iglesias) (09/18/90)

We're going to be setting up a lab of DECstation 5000/200 PXGs where
students will be using the systems on and off all day.  I've noticed
that the DECwindows server grows in size over time (like the X11R4
server does), and I can't find a way to restart the server like I can
with X11R4's xdm.  I'd like to restart the server after someone uses
the Session Manager to quit their session so the server starts out
small and only grows during the current user's session.  Rebooting the
system is not an option.  Is there a way to do this?


Thanks,

along the same line, I've tried to run the DEC server under xdm (R4), but
haven't been too successful ... specifically, the server dies/gets killed by
xdm (in server-terminate mode) but xdm doesn't seem to restart the server.
I suppose its (DEC's server) is not fully xdm compliant?
