XINIT(1x)               COMMAND REFERENCE               XINIT(1x)



NAME
     xinit -X window system initializer

     For 4310, 4320, and 4330 series UTek products only.

SYNOPSIS
     xinit [[client] options] [-- [server] [display] options]

DESCRIPTION
     When the X window system server is not run automatically
     from xstart(8x), and the window system must be started from
     a shell running on the display, xinit is used.  This might
     be true, for example, if a normal login is run in a glass-
     tty emulator on a workstation console, so that different
     window systems can easily run on the display at different
     times.

     The window initializer xinit starts the server and a single
     client application, typically xterm(1x).  When the client
     terminates, xinit automatically kills the server and then
     terminates.

     By default, xinit expects the server to exist in an
     executable file named X in the search path, and also expects
     xterm(1x) to exist in the search path.  It starts the X
     server on display 0, and then starts
          xterm =+1+1 -n login unix:0

     A different client and/or server can be specified in the
     command line, and command line options can be passed to both
     the server and the client.  The client and its options come
     first in the command line.  The server and its options must
     be preceded by two hyphens ( -- ).  If the first argument to
     xinit begins with a slash ( / ) or a letter, that argument
     is interpreted as the client program to use instead of
     xterm, and none of the default xterm options are used.
     Otherwise, the first and subsequent arguments are simply
     appended as further options to the default xterm command
     line.

     Following the  --  argument, if the next argument begins
     with  /  or a letter, it is interpreted as the server
     program to use instead of X.  If the next argument begins
     with a digit, it is interpreted as the display number;
     otherwise display  0  is assumed.  The remaining arguments
     are added as options to the server command line.
