我试图让系统在Ubuntu 10.10（Maverick）启动时运行Xvfb，但它不工作。 在/etc/rc.local中，我有以下几点：
/root/start_xvfb.sh >> /var/log/start_xvfb.log 2>&1 exit 0 而在/root/start_xvfb.sh我有：
#!/bin/sh -e startx -- `which Xvfb` :0 -screen 0 1024x768x24 & exit 0
重新启动机器后，日志文件（/var/log/start_xvfb.log）包含：
[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list! ^M waiting for X server to shut down ^M
鉴于日志文件中的内容，似乎正在调用“startx – ”Xvfb“：0 -screen 0 1024x768x24”，但此后不久就会中止该进程。
我想在启动时启动Xvfb，因为我需要在没有监视器显示的远程服务器上运行Firefox。 如果我在SSH远程机器上运行/etc/rc.local，Xvfb启动时没有问题，我可以通过“firefox –display =：0＆”来启动Firefox。 如果我不使用第一次启动Xvfb而使用该命令来运行Firefox，则会收到消息“Error：can not open display :: 0”。
请注意，我没有试图看到我的本地工作站上的显示。 我希望应用程序显示在远程机器（虚拟，内存）显示上。
任何想法为什么X服务器在启动后立即在远程机器上closures？ 有没有更好的方式让系统启动时启动Xvfb？
在此先感谢您的帮助。
我想这个shell会在退出的时候TERM，因为'＆'会立即生效。 也许你想使用start-stop-daemon？ 例如：
start-stop-daemon --start -b -x /usr/bin/Xvfb :1
我想如果你想要startx包装的帮助，你可能想要运行你的shellcript。
你可以使用我的初始化脚本。 它基于/etc/init.d/skeleton，似乎很好：

把它放在/etc/init.d/xvfbd然后运行
sudo update-rc.d xvfbd defaults
现在它应该在启动时自动运行。
