Install system to start only one application (vmware) in X

[antares2001]

Hello!

I've got a question: I've installed a fresh gentoo system with X and vmware. So far it works. What I do want now is, that every time the system boots, it starts up X and uses vmware as the only program inside it. When the vmware is closed, the X server should be shut down and the system should do a shutdown and halt.

The simple reason is that this system is on a rather strong machine and the vmware then shall start a gentoo system for the user to work on as desktop, while also 3 virtual systems start up which act as servers and deliver various services (there's a gentoo server, one windows and one redhat in the vmware).

I'd like to thank you if you could tell me how I can setup X that way (only vmware startet as 'desktop' and shutdown on closeing vmware).

Thank you very much.
