This being the case, you can check what happened to xinit by examining
the history file from a new shell as soon as you have X up and running.
With incappendhistory, `xinit' should already be the last command in
the file before `xinit' itself runs -- so assuming that your shells in
xterm (or whatever emulator) are using the same history file as your
console shell, typing <C-p> as soon as a new terminal opens should show
you `xinit', and <C-p> again should show you `cmd1'. If history files
aren't the same, `tail' the one the console should have written.
An important thing to note is that with incappendhistory set, zsh will
not re-write the history file again at shell exit. If you did anything
at all in a shell from within X, and then you immediately `exit' from the
console after the X server shuts down, the last commands in the history
will be those saved by the shells within X.
} BTW, I use NFS, but all the shells were on the same machine.
NFS could be a factor even if only one client machine is involved.
