I'll have to try this out. Can you run X OK on top of the emacs > shell? Some people may find this useful: to start up programs on VC's, without having to login on every one, remove/replace the getty's in /etc/inittab (leave one), and use the dynamic-vc package from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/console and commands like: open -c 3 -- su - open -c 4 -- su - open -c 5 -- su - open -c 6 -- su - gps open -c 6 -- su - gps -c openwin & ie I login as root, run that script and it does the rest. I'm even considering removing the need to login as root, and have it simply boot into that mode.
