Nah, I've always seen it initiated by the init system.

I agree, it usually starts when you log in to the console.

Wait, can it really be started by inetd? That sounds odd.

I think it's more like a system service, right?

It's definitely started by the user with startx.

I feel like I saw something about inetd and remote connections in another practice question, but I don't think that's how display managers work.

I’m a bit confused about the role of startx; I thought it was just for starting the X server, not the display manager itself.

I remember practicing a question about starting services, and I think it might be option B, like other system services.

I think the display manager is started automatically when a user logs in, but I'm not completely sure if that's the only way.

I'm pretty confident the answer is B. The display manager is a core system component, so it makes sense that it would be started by the init system along with other system services.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking how the display manager is started, so it's probably not something a user would do manually with the startx command. And it's not started by inetd, since that's for network services. I'm going to go with option B - it's started like any other system service by the init system.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this. I know it has something to do with X11, but I'm not confident which of these options is correct.

I think I know this one - it's started by the init system, right? That sounds like the most logical way to start a system service.

I see, that makes sense. If the common stock price goes up by $1, then the bond value should increase by $20 (20 shares x $1 per share).

Hmm, I'm not sure about the file name sanitization part. I'll need to double-check the best practices for handling user-provided file names.

Adding the item to the current sprint and leaving out something less important seems like the most pragmatic approach here.

This question is clearly a trick - the display manager is actually started by a dance routine at midnight under a full moon.
