.SH NAME
sx \- start an xserver
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B sx
.RI [ client ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B sx
can be used to replace both
.BR xinit (1)
and
.BR startx (1)
for starting an Xorg server. By default
.B sx
will attempt execute
.I sxrc
unless a
.I client
argument is provided.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.B XAUTHORITY
sx: use the default logfile There's not a lot of point in absorbing the xserver's log file when it will just be less intuitive for those looking for it in the standard location. Since the log is generated by Xorg and not sx, it only seems reasonable. This commit also renames xauthfile to xauthority for a little more consistency with documentation and prior art.
