SLiM login manager does not restart...

Well, sometimes i want to kill my xserver... Before i used KDM and when i killed the xserver i was automatically sent back to the kdm login (xserver restarts and kdm is back...)

Now i have switched to the slim login manager, and when i kill the xserver now, i land on the vt and have to restart slim manually...

I start SLiM via the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf and have tried the daemon option in /etc/slim.conf, but this did not work...

So, ist there any solution out there?

Thx

Re: SLiM login manager does not restart...

There's actually a few issues with the slim startup script I have yet to fix (they're no huge deal).

You can, however, use

x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null

in /etc/inittab

When my laptop is back, I will fix this.  Can you please file a bug report so I remember to do this?
