Ignoring the question of whether this is a good idea or not, why not do something like: display=:$(($RANDOM % 100)) Not fool-proof, but it should result in fewer port conflicts. Also, you may want to call "kill -KILL" from your trap instead, to be more sure you're actually cleaning up the Xvfb. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
