I'm not sure what you're hoping to accomplish here. Why do you want Xquartz to quit afterwards? Is it a scripted event? If so, then you are probabloy better off using Xvfb/Xfake for that.

Hrmm...

So I run the xinitrc itself directly as the script, and the application comes
up! w00t!


Well, THAT's easier... Now is there any way to close X11 from within my
script, just so there's not "cruft" laying around afterwards?


Thanks,

Applications/Utilities/X11.app is just a launcher for xterm. /usr/ X11/
X11.app is pretty much our xinit.

I have an X11 application written in PHP-GTK that works well on 10.4
and 10.3,
launched with a shell call like this:

# /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit "/path/to/my/xinitrc" $XINITOPTIONS -- /usr/
X11R6/bin/X

It's beautiful - launches X11 and my app with a simple double-click
of the
mouse...

But on Leopard, there is no /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit ! What's the
recommended
workaround? How to launch and application and X11 from within a bash
shell
script?
