Very Computer

How do I get this to be executed right after X is started (not after I
log in)?  I tried putting the commands at the top of my xinitrc, but
that didn't work.  Please help!

Before you buy.

I got my true type font server to start every time by putting the
following line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt &
at the end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

I then added
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp+ unix/:7100
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset fp rehash
to the end of my .bash_profile file.  There may be a better place for
these lines (putting them at the end of my rc.local file didn't work),
but this seems to work reliably for me.

Thanks to those who emailed me their thoughts on this problem.

I have the script attached below in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfstt file, and two
links to it in runlevel 2 named S20xfstt, K20xfstt. Works perfect. Adjust the
path assignments for your needs. Remember if you install the newest version of
xfstt the port has changed to 7101.

The font path can be set in your /etc/Xf86Config file, section "Files":
FontPath "unix/:7101"

Try it !

test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1

exit 0
