commands in Xstart [6]

I find there are 7 types of commands and as follows:

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY
/usr/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY
/usr/openwin/bin/xterm -ls -display $DISPLAY
/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -ls -display $DISPLAY
sh -c "LANG=C; DISPLAY=$DISPLAY; export LANG DISPLAY; /usr/dt/bin/Xsession"
/usr/bin/gnome-session --display $DISPLAY

I try the first two, and things happen same, then I want to know the difference
Thanks for advance, :-D

Program Ver. : Xmanager 4
Connect Method : Xstart connection

These are basic commands you can use on Linux. First 4 commands are for xterm for different operating systems.

/usr/dt/bin/dtterm -ls -display $DISPLAY

starts dtterm on AIX and HP-UX.

sh -c "LANG=C; DISPLAY=$DISPLAY; export LANG DISPLAY; /usr/dt/bin/Xsession"

This command starts CDE on AIX and HP-UX

/usr/bin/gnome-session --display $DISPLAY

This commands start Gnome desktop environment on most Linux based operating systems.

Hope this answers your question.

In the first command, for example, I use the `nohup *`, and if I don't enter the "exit" and close the window, the process will terminate immediately whether in `nohup` or not.

But in other command (forgive my forgetfulness), it may not happen by using nohup while close the window immediately.

Is it because of the command?

What is that you are trying to do with Xmanager? Could you explain what is that you are trying to accomplish with Xmanager?

Thanks for replying
Of course to log into the terminal and run some scripts or program. The reason I want to ask is: years ago, I use the `nohup` and it can be done well after I close the Xstart, but now I need to type `exit` and then the `nohup *` will not terminate. So I guess it may be the reason for the command I logged in. Therefore, I want to ask which command I should use to make the `nohup *` do not terminate whether I enter the `exit` or not.

You can do this by

1. Open xterm normally with Xstart
2. From xterm window, type in the command in the following format:

$ nohup command &

*You have to put ampersand (&) at the end of the line.

3. Exit from Xmanager.

The process should be still running in the server after you close Xmanager

Thank you, so it is not the reason of the command of the xstart? I do this and it is helpful. Thanks
