Please wrap lines at 70 characters. I'm using zsh, I have an alias: alias lox='startx &; disown; logout' ie. run x in the background, don't hup it at logout, logout. You're right that ^C will break X, you probably want to ^Z it then 'bg' it followed by disowning it (so tcsh/terminal doesn't hup it) then logging out. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] Ok, who wrote this damn function called '??'?
