XSTART(8x)              COMMAND REFERENCE              XSTART(8x)



NAME
     xstart - start X window system operation

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

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/xstart

DESCRIPTION
     The program xstart reads the file /etc/X.conf(5x) to
     determine whether the X window system should be started; if
     so, the specified server is started.  A pause is done to
     allow the server to begin execution, then a console window
     and a login window are started.

     If no server is specified in the X.conf(5x) file, xstart
     ensures that the console entry in the file /etc/ttys(5) is
     set to allow logins.  If a server is specified, the console
     entry is set - logins are not allowed.  On the 4320 and 4330
     series the console entry is the gds entry.

     Then, xstart waits on any of the started processes to
     terminate.  If the server dies, the entire window system is
     restarted.  If either the console window or the login window
     terminates, that window is recreated.

     The signal SIGHUP causes xstart to reread the X.conf(5x)
     file and restarts the window system based on the current
     specifications.

FILES
     X.conf(5x)               Created by xconfig(8x) and used by
                              xstart(8x) so that the X window
                              configuration is preserved from one
                              boot to the next

     ttys(5)                  Controls the ability to login using
                              the init(8) process

CAVEATS
     No input validation is done for the values read in the file.
