Starting all x, icewmbg and icewm from a single command.
Hi, I have a SUSE 10.0 machine with runlevel 3 as default. There is a single normal user on the comp, sometimes having to run icewm. I tried to put all the needed startx :0, icewmbg and icewm commands to a single script, allowing the user to run it without typeing all the previous stuff separately. The only _bad_ thing is, that my method doesn't work at all; x starts, but icewm(+bg) doen't find their "normal place" and complain about not existing display. I have no experience with such a system, used to have always runlevel 5 as default; would be great, if someone could give me advice what to do. (I also tried various export statements and played around with .xinitrc as well, giving still not the wished result.) Thanks, Pelibali

I just went through this in 9.3, hope it helps with 10.0. -- Joe

Thanks for your message! I think I have an easier problem, because as user I can do "startx :0", then wait a little and put into the newly opened graph. terminal "icewmbg && icewm". So in fact generally works, but putting all of the above commands to a single script, the user can't get icewm running, because it complains that doesn't find display, independently, that I try to tell that x runs on :0... Thanks, Pelibali PS. I tried something like these lama-lines placed into /bin as root, that the normal user could run it (root:root, 0755): ------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh startx :0 icewmbg icewm
