OK, so no attachments, no contribution.... well....... OK then but you've got to handle the second CRT yourself: How to set up Linux to start up a DM without logging in Caution: This procedure will boot the box and run the DM under the root account !! Assumption: The procedure to use Linux to view remote DM's has been successful. 1) Boot the Linux machine and login as root. 2) Create the following scripts in /usr/scripts and make sure they are executable: Script 1: #!/bin/sh # # startopenwin # # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/openwin/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openwin/lib OPENWINHOME=/usr/openwin BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="" export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH OPENWINHOME openwin Script 2: #!/bin/sh # # stopX.sh # # Change to run level 3 to stop respawning of X telinit 3 # Check to make sure a remote DM is not running dmpid=`ps x |grep -e '/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -T Remote IA' |grep -v grep |awk '{pr int $1}'` if [ $dmpid ] then kill -TERM $dmpid fi # Get the PID of the Xwrapper and olwm wrappid=`ps x |grep /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper |grep -v grep |awk '{print $1}'` olwmpid=`ps x |grep /usr/openwin/bin/olwm |grep -v grep |awk '{print $1}'` # Send a kill signal kill -TERM $olwmpid $wrappid 3) Open /etc/inittab and make the following modifications: 1. Change the line reading 'id:3:initdefault' to 'id:5:initdefault'. 2. Comment out the line reading 'x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/X11/xdm \nodaemon'. 3. Add the following two lines # Try starting openwin in runlevel 5 x:5:respawn:/usr/scripts/startopenwin 4) Edit /usr/openwin/lib/openwin-menu and comment out all items except the Foxboro DM option. You may want to leave access to the 'Shells' menu until you are sure this works properly. 5) Create the following .xinitrc file in / and make sure it is executable. /usr/X11R6/bin/xset +fp /usr/fox/wp/fonts /usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp rehash /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost + /usr/scripts/operate.fox & /usr/openwin/bin/olwm -f Note: After this procedure the only access to the box will be through a remote telnet or rlogin session ... so ensure you are connected to a network prior to making the above changes. To stop the X window environment you need to telnet to the Linux box and run the /usr/scripts/stopX.sh script as root. This script will change the run level to 3, stop the DM (if running) and exit the X windowing system. A login prompt can be used at the box after hitting the 'Return' key. Logging in as root in run level 3 will not start the X windowing system therefore allowing local prompt adminstration / shutdown. -----Original Message----- From: Stear, Bo [mailto:stear@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 12:58 PM To: 'foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: [foxboro] dual-headed Linux box as operator workstation I could have sworn there was an attachment.... oh well... once more: -----Original Message----- From: Stear, Bo [mailto:stear@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 12:51 PM To: 'foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: [foxboro] dual-headed Linux box as operator workstation So here's my contribution...... -----Original Message----- From: Brian Bates [mailto:batesb@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 11:57 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] dual-headed Linux box as operator workstation Daren, Duc, I found this HOWTO at RedHat for configuring the Matrox G400 dual head on RH7.0. http://people.redhat.com/wjones/docs/g400-dh.html Brian Bates Bowater Inc.
