Our X Window System product provides a startup script called
"X" (which after much sanity checking, invokes XmacII). IMHO,
linking the name X to the server binary is asking for trouble
I don't really care who forgot to get familiar with X11 at Apple before
trying to market and support a vendor product, but traditionally the X
server is called X. Call your script something else, but leave
well-accepted conventions alone.
Try "man X" on any reasonable vendor's machine.
