Duplicate invocation problem with xwin.exe

[Martin Gill]

Hi,

I just insalled cygwin on my PC, and tried to get the x windows server 
running.

I used the startxwin.bat script to do this, but nothing seemed to happen.

After some investigation, I noticed that I had two xwin.exe processes 
running. I killed both of them and tried again. Again.. 2 xwin.exe 
processes started up.

I checked through the batch file, but all it was doing was starting xwin 
and then starting xterm. I commented out xterm, just in case and tried 
again. same result.

If I run the batch file, I always get 2 xwin.exe processes. I've tried 
runnig it from cmd as well as from the bash shell, but even in those 
cases I get 2 processes.

If i go into task manager and kill the xwin process with the lower 
memory foot-print, the x-server springs into life and everything works 
as expected.

I'm completely confused as to why this is happening.

My startxwin.bat is unchanged. I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 with the latest 
stable versions of cygwin.

Anyone able to offer any suggestions?

Thanks,

Martin
