See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 10 Dec 1993 00:00:01 EST This is a bare bones synopsis of the events that occur when you log in to the console via xdm (the default method of logging in) under IRIX 4.0.x and, with the desktop *disabled*, IRIX 5.x. 1) Provide a "failsafe" (nographics) login if required/requested. 2) Exec $HOME/.xsession if it exists. If it exists, the remaining steps should normally be included in the users .xsession file as well. 3) Load $HOME/.Xresources if it exists. 4) Set XUSERFILESEARCHPATH. 5) Incorporate a "shell" environment into the "session". (man userenv) 6) Set the root background and cursor. 7) Disable display access control (xhost +). (man xhost) 8) Start 4Dwm. 9) Wait for 4Dwm to come up. 10) Start the console. 11) Execute $HOME/.sgisession if it exists. 12) Start WorkSpace if the user wants it. 13) Put a Toolchest on each screen. 14) Exec the "reaper". (man reaper / endsession) User Contributions:Top Document: SGI graphics Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Previous Document: -8- What are the important login and resource files for IRIX 4.0.x?
