I use startx
to start X which will evaluate my .xinitrc
. In my .xinitrc
I start my window manager using /usr/bin/mywm
. Now, if I kill my WM (in order to f.e. test some other WM), X will terminate too because the .xinitrc
script reached EOF.
So I added this at the end of my .xinitrc
:
while true; do sleep 10000; done
This way X won't terminate if I kill my WM. Now my question: how can I do an infinite sleep instead of looping sleep? Is there a command which will kinda like freeze the script?
Best regards
