19.3.5 XDM_XSESSION.COM File
The XDM_XSESSION.COM file is an optional command procedure file that
specifies the type of X window that XDM displays after a user has successfully
logged in.
XDM’s default operation is to create a Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
using the commands from the SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$XDM_XSESSION.COM file:
$ DEFINE DECW$DISPLAY "’’p1’"
$ DEFINE display "’’p1’"
$ @CDE$PATH:XSESSION.COM
At present, CDE is only available on Alpha systems in version 1.2-4 or later
of DWMOTIF, and not at all on VAX systems. If the CDE command procedure
XSESSION.COM is not found on the system, XDM will look for the DECwindows
Desktop Session Manager startup command procedure, DECW$STARTSM.COM
to initiate the session using the commands:
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=nodename/TRANSPORT=TCPIP
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTSM.COM
Before executing either of these command procedures, XDM looks for an
XDM_XSESSION.COM file in the user’s SYS$LOGIN directory. If found, XDM
executes the file. Users can create a DECterm by adding the following DCL
commands to their XDM_XSESSION.COM file:
$ SET PROC/PRIV=SYSNAM
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=workstation_display/TRANSPORT=TCPIP -
_$ /EXECUTIVE_MODE
$ CREATE/TERMINAL/WAIT/WINDOW_ATTRIBUTES=(ICON=nodename,-
_$ TITLE=window_title)
For a complete description of the CREATE and SET DISPLAY commands and
their qualifiers, use the DCL command HELP at the OpenVMS system prompt.
