more Cygwin/X trivia...
To automate the "xhost +SERVER_IP" step edit /etc/X0.hosts and include the IP addresses of the servers that can use the X server. For example: $ echo "10.0.0.1" >>/etc/X0.hosts For startup, I made a copy of bash.bat called x.bat and changed the last line to: bash -c startx These two changes reduced starting the X server to an icon click. It does spawn two windows though that need to stay running. This is an improvement though. [/items/Devlog] permanent link
