Hi all! I want to have 3 different users (userA, userB, userC) run X automated tasks simultaneously on the same machine that I use for my work. I run KDE (DISPLAY=:0) with 2 activities: in the first I do my work and in the second I monitor the activities of (userA, userB, userC).
Is my setup correct? I ask because when I start for userB a let's say an xdotool loop, it stops (Quit core dump), when I return to my first activity or go to another desktop. Moreover, I would really like to learn what redundant steps I have taken. ### 1. I let them use my Display: $ xhost - $ xhost +SI:localuser:userA $ xhost +SI:localuser:userB $ xhost +SI:localuser:userC ### 2. I start one Xephyr session in each of my second activity's virtual desktops: $ sudo -H -u userA bash -c 'DISPLAY=:0 kstart --desktop 1 Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen 800x600 :10' $ sleep 1 $ sudo -H -u userB bash -c 'DISPLAY=:0 kstart --desktop 2 Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen 800x600 :11' $ sleep 1 $ sudo -H -u userC bash -c 'DISPLAY=:0 kstart --desktop 3 Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen 800x600 :12' $ sleep 1 ### 3. I start an openbox session $ sudo -H -u userA bash -c 'DISPLAY=:10 /usr/bin/openbox-session' & $ sleep 1 $ sudo -H -u userB bash -c 'DISPLAY=:11 /usr/bin/openbox-session' & $ sleep 1 $ sudo -H -u userC bash -c 'DISPLAY=:12 /usr/bin/openbox-session' & Another question please: Are the '$ sleep 1' really necessary? Thank you! constantine PS: In /etc/sudoers I have added: thatsme ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/su - userA thatsme ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/su - userB thatsme ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /bin/su - userC _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
