Is there any way of checking if the X Server is
currently running? Because if you try this again, it
gives you “A fatal error” … which does not crash your
computer – but is a bit annoying to me.
The checkX program is written specifically to do this.
#!/bin/sh
if checkX ; then
# X is running
else
# X is not running
