About Startup Modes
Exceed onDemand supports four startup modes. If you use one of the XDMCP modes, the initial X applications that start are determined by a special file located on your XDM host. This file contains the command lines required to startup the X applications.
The Communication page of the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box contains the following settings that let you select and configure a startup mode for your session:
Startup ModeSelect a mode from the Startup Mode drop-down list:
-
PassiveUpon startup, Exceed onDemand starts the X server without making any initial attempt to connect to a specific host or to run an application. In this mode, you must use an external mechanism to start X applications. For example, you can log on using a Telnet client and start X applications manually. You can also use Xstart to start X applications. For more information, see Connecting to Hosts with Xstart.
-
XDMCP QueryUpon startup, Exceed onDemand automatically makes the connection to a host you specify when configuring this startup mode. The host starts the X applications specified in the host's XDM session (script) file after you log on successfully.
-
XDMCP BroadcastUpon startup, Exceed onDemand broadcasts to hosts on the network to determine which hosts are willing to manage your X display. The available hosts are listed on the XDMCP Display Manager Chooser window.
-
XDMCP IndirectUpon startup, Exceed onDemand sends a query to a host you specify when configuring this startup mode. The host then broadcasts to other hosts on the network to determine which are willing to manage the X display.
