I still use ttys like Polytropon, but I believe recommended practice is to use an rc.d system - just nobody has/could be bothered actually writing one :D Maybe I'll (or someone else) get a round tuit one day, but I wouldn't hold your breath: it's been on the books for near a decade :) _______________________________________________ Actually, I came across a script written by someone for the CDE desktop. It would be easy to modify it for another X11 DM (I would think). Might be helpful to someone looking for a script of that type.
