STARTX(X) UNIX System V
Name
startx - starts the Xsight server
Syntax
startx
Description
When you give the startx command to start Xsight, the file
/usr/lib/X11/sys.startxrc is read. This file contains a
list of the default clients that are launched every time you
start Xsight. You can edit a copy of this file so that a
different set of clients is launched automatically whenever
Xsight starts.
Before editing sys.startxrc, it is recommended that you copy
the file to each user's home directory and rename it
.startxrc. If $HOME/.startxrc exists, it is used instead of
/usr/lib/X11/sys.startxrc.
Each line in .startxrc can contain only one client name.
You must place an ampersand (&) after all but the last
client name in the file. Placing an ampersand after a
client name specifies that the client runs in the
background. Because the last client is not followed by an
ampersand, it runs in the foreground. Killing the last
client ends the Xsight session.
Notes
If a client is in a directory other than /usr/bin/X11, you
must give its full pathname when you list it in
$HOME/.startxrc.
Example
The following is a sample .startxrc file:
#
# Clients started by default by startx
# The last client should not be started in the background.
#
xterm &
xclock &
xeyes &
mwm
