[CLUE-Tech] X and .login script

[Mike]

I figured out what I need to do. I just needed to put this in
~/.xinitrc:

if [ -f $HOME/.login ]; then
        /bin/tcsh $HOME/.login
fi

so that ~/.login will run one time only when I login from X.

Thanks for the response. It got me thinking about how to clarify the
question which led to the solution.
