Start X Server on Windows Login


Good afteroon list,

I have been looking around the list today and whilst I have some great pointers on what I want to achieve I am having some problems bringing it all together.

Aim: When I log into Windows the X server is started and win-ssh-askpass is called asking for my ssh private key password to give to the ssh-agent. I then want to use a shortcut to bring up xterms as and when I want them.

Coming from a UNIX background I understand that I need to use .xsession ot .xinit or .xinitrc, however I am not sure how I can get X to start (without using the provided bash file or Cygwin prompt as I do not want a bash terminal at this stage) which causes this to be read. This is where I will put the ssh-agent start up information.

If anyone has accomplished this or has some ideas I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks very much in advance,

Russell
