The XKB extension calls xkbcomp (an external program). This is done via fork. This means for a short time there are two XWin processes but one of them is transformed into an xkbcomp process later (check unix semantics for fork and exec for details). In some cases (textmode mounted /tmp, Personal firewalls and virus scanners) break the fork/exec calls. BTW: I've not heard any definitive answer if you have any of the above mentiond programs running. Disabling the XKB extension will result in not calling xkbcomp, so the lock disappears. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm
I wasn'y reffering to your situation specifically. Even when the script is not executed twice, two Xwin.exe processes launch. That is what I described in the first post of this thread. As I learned, adding the -kb flag makes the second Xwin.exe die shortly after the initial launch, but my question is why two are loading in the first place. --- "Armbrust, Daniel C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Because I execute the entire script twice, since the first execution doesn't > bring up any xterms. > > Still not sure what is causing it to take so long to launch the xwin.exe. > > Can I set the timeout values on the xterm's with a flag? > > Dan > > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Scott Cegielski > Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 10:38 AM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm > > I'm just trying to understand this even though it works for me now.

RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm
Because I execute the entire script twice, since the first execution doesn't bring up any xterms. Still not sure what is causing it to take so long to launch the xwin.exe. Can I set the timeout values on the xterm's with a flag?

Eventually the X finally > appears in the lower right corner. This means XWin is taking very long to startup. Maybe because of a virus scanner? The xterms will timeout after no connection to the xserver could be established. The second xserver will notice the first one and will silently exit but now the xterms can connect to the first xserver. Adding a sleep after run XWin might help by postponing the xterm startup. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
