Implementing a

$ cat /usr/sbin/nodm
#!/bin/sh
strace $0.real 2> /tmp/ere

reveals

time(NULL)                              = 1310476722
send(3, "<83>Jul 12 21:18:42 nodm[1632]: "..., 72, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 72
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[KILL STOP RTMIN RT_1], NULL, 8) = 0
waitpid(1633, 0xbfcc4f68, WNOHANG)      = 0
time(NULL)                              = 1310476722
send(3, "<85>Jul 12 21:18:42 nodm[1632]: "..., 69, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 69
kill(1633, SIGTERM)                     = 0
kill(1633, SIGCONT)                     = 0

from which we see

/var/log/auth.log
Jul 12 21:18:37 jidanni2 nodm[1632]: starting nodm
Jul 12 21:18:42 jidanni2 nodm[1632]: X server did not respond after 5 seconds
Jul 12 21:18:42 jidanni2 nodm[1632]: sending X server 1633 the TERM signal

from which we conclude maybe my hardware is not as fast as Enrico's.
Fortunately there is a way for the average home user to try six
seconds instead of five. What is it? Thanks.
