FVWM: Startup and Shutdown questions

I am writing a custom init program which runs under a
bootable CD. From withing my init program I start X
Windows by starting the X Server directly.

pidX = fork();
if (pidX == 0)
{
   execl("/usr/X11R6/bin/X", "X", NULL, env);
   exit(0);
}

Is there a way to automatically start FVWM once X is
initialized? I don't use xinit so I can't use the
.Xsession files and such. Is there another way?

Also, is there a good way to shut X and FVWM down
besides just killing the processes? I've tried
killing the processes but something is hanging onto
the CDROM drive and I can't eject. Linux reports the
device busy.

Thanks for your help,
Paul
