Okay, so a script like this would work best on both?
if [[ -x /usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds ]] ; then
exec /usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds
else if [[ -x /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession ]] ; then
exec /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession /usr/bin/dtstart jds
else
# Good ol' failsafe
xterm &
exec twm
fi
Can I assume these are all stable interfaces I don't need ARC contracts
for?
Thanks.
