I am trying to run rdesktop recursively at startup with DSL. I have managed to finally get that it to run once at startup by execing it in the .xinitrc . Now there are two issues,

One: When it does startup at boot the ASCd box shows up on the upper lefthand corner of the screen and will not go away.

Two: When rdesktop exits it exits back to prompt and just sits there. In order for it to come back I have to type xinit and it starts back up again.

this is how my scripts look like:

(.xinitrc)

fi
exec /etc/init.d/nt
fluxbox

(nt)

while [ true ]
do
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit /etc/init.d/nt_con -bpp 8 :0
done

(nt_con)

/usr/X11R6/bin/xsetroot -solid black
exec /usr/bin/rdesktop -f (ip here) -a 16

I've tried the inittab route with no luck. rdesktop couldnt startup from there. The above is the route that has gotten me the farthest.
