RE: Multiple XWin.exe programs loading and no xterm

["Armbrust, Daniel C." <Armbrust dot Daniel at mayo dot edu>]

The -kb command helped with one of my machines that was having intermittent difficulties in launching.



On another machine, however, I always have to execute the following script twice before I get any Xwin windows:


--CUT--
All of the standard startXWin.bat environment setup stuff...
--CUT--

run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -kb
run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l
run xterm -geometry 80x50-0-0 -sl 500 -sb -rightbar -e ssh -Y username@some.server


The first time that I run it - Xwin.exe and two xterm.exe's appear in the process manager - then both xterm's disappear.  Eventually the X finally appears in the lower right corner.

Then I run the script again, and this time the xterms actually launch.

Here is the log file from the first launch:

Does this shed any light on things?  

Thanks,
