Provide a brief overview of how the startx utility starts the X Window session from the command line.

What will be an ideal response?


The startx utility first looks for a hidden file called.xinitrc, which should be in the user's home directory. This file is a shell script that the user can configure to run programs in the background. If this file isn't found, startx searches for the systemwide.xinitrc file, located in the /etc/X11/xinit directory.
