X - xinit

[Michael Zeitlin]

Can anyone help explain or provide a work-around for an unusual problem
i'm having with the X server...on my P.I.

when I do an "xinit" from a wsh terminal an x-login window is created
in a normal way.  I usually invoke an X client on my colleagues sun (xbif)
that displays on my Iris.  when I'm finished I ususally log off (all at
once) and go home.... When I log in again and try to invoke X (via xinit)
I get no response.  I found out that Xsgi from my previous session was still
running and blocking my new Xinit request. Until I kill Xsgi from the
previous session, new Xevents are not processed....

What's happening...

I would like the X-server to shut down when I log off.  Sometimes it seems
to as I don't always find Xsgi running when i log back in.  could my
sun application have something to do with this behavior.?

I can be reached at convex!texhrc!mjz or here...

thanks
