Is there a way to re-use an existing launched runx session? about runx HOT 3 CLOSED

runx provides variables DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY in its terminal output.
You can export these variables in your other terminals, and they will use the already running X server.

runx does not look for other instances of itself.

Edit:
What if you run e.g. one instance of xfce4-terminal and open new terminal windows from its menu? They will have the credential variables already set.

I suppose I could save those variables and then write them into a file. But I would need to know when to clean those files up. I'll expand on this tomorrow.

The idea of re-using already running X server is currently discussed in #8.
