Hi Joanne:
We are using Linux x-terms with the ICA client here and this is what our Linux
guru suggested:
if you got the part to auto-login a user, what you need to do is set the
autologin shell to be a script that launches ICA.
In the script, you set a continuous loop and then run:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xinit /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica -quiet -desc fullscreen --
/usr/X11R6/bin/X $dXargs
also key is setting up inittab:
1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f xtermuser < /dev/tty1 > /dev/tty1 2>/dev/console
this sets a single tty login (not multiples), and runs login to the user
xtermuser and redirects errors and output.
the xtermuser account has the looping shell script for a login shell, as
indicated in the password file:
xtermuser:x:900:900::/home/xtermuser:/usr/local/bin/xuser
xuser is a script, not a shell...
also, has you may want to check out pxes...which does all of this for you with
a single, 5M
bootable CD or boot off the network.

I messed around with the Thin station. I didn't dig far enough to get it to
work. I want wireless capabilities too.

If you're doing that, you may as well just get Thinstation from
http://thinstation.sourceforge.net which is an 8Mb (or thereabouts) ISO which
will allow you to boot straight into an ISA, RDP, SSH or Telnet session
(depending on what you configure) with a floppy disk config disk, or get the
58Mb install files to get the latest release and build it with the config file
on the CD ROM.

That's a good reason to add the auto login. I was wondering if I should.

Do you auto-login to the X Session? If so, you can put it into /etc/inittab as
a restarting service.
If you don't auto-login, then your best bet would be to have a shell script
which calls itself once the application has closed.

Hello All,
I got the ica client working on Redhat, running a published windows
2003
server desktop. ICA client launches at login. I have some more digging to do
but does anyone know off hand how to auto run wfica when someone logs out of
the Windows desktop( or is kicked off the server)? Ideally I'd like it to keep
trying and trying and trying.
Thanks, Joanne
