Adding "--" to a command within xinit?

  • 772

A standard xinit command looks like this:

xinit /usr/local/bin/app -- :1 vt2

However, I have a command that looks like this:

xinit /usr/bin/xfreerdp -a 16 -u '' -x m -z --disable-wallpaper --disable-full-window-drag --disable-menu-animations --disable-theming --plugin rdpsnd --plugin rdpdr --data disk:Devices:/media/root -- 10.0.0.197 -- :1 vt2

Notice how the command given to xinit uses "--" in-and-of-itself (before the IP)? Well, xinit complains about it:

Fatal server error:
Unrecognized option: 10.0.0.197

How do I get xinit to allow the use of a "--" within the command given to it?

Please note that I thought about moving the sub-command to it's own bash script, but this is for an LTSP server.

    You could try:

    xinit /bin/sh -c "exec /usr/bin/xfreerdp -a 16 -u '' -x m -z --disable-wallpaper --disable-full-window-drag --disable-menu-animations --disable-theming --plugin rdpsnd --plugin rdpdr --data disk:Devices:/media/root -- 10.0.0.197" -- :1 vt2
