This (finally, about 7 reboots later) finally does it. And it works either on local console or my remote ssh -Y login.
# LINUXCNC #################!/bin/bash ( sleep 10 # DEBUG xrdb -all -query|sed -e 's#[A-Z_]*BACKGROUND# gray90#' -e 's#[A-Z_]*FOREGROUND# Black#' -e 's#[A-Z_]*HIGHLIGHT# White#' -e 's#[A-Z_]*LOWLIGHT# Black#' )|xrdb -merge ###xmessage ".xinitrc :-)" I put the () in, along with the comment in line one, blew away the shebang (I think), and had to restore the "|xrdb -merge" on the end, and now it appears to work both places. It was the xmessage ".xinitrc :-)" that was hanging it forever, or until I clicked to close it, which I was doing. Now I don't see it & the login is quite noticably faster. My biggest problem in inserting that above, was I had to get another shell, and do an "ls -la /sshnet/GO704" to get a directory listing because kmail could not see the sshfs generated directories contents until I had done that. I swear, some days it doesn't pay to gnaw thru the straps and get up in the mornings. But I have hopes of its working for a while now. Thanks for the reminder, Nik, appreciated. BTW, ~/.xsessionrc is a link to ~/.xinitrc if that was muddying the issue. I wanted to cover all the bases. :-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
