restarting

I have xearth in my autoexec. It works exactly as it I think it should,
except that when I restart Afterstep, each time it seems to add one more
instance of xearth. I have figured out what is going on and I need a good
way to stop it. Whenever you quit afterstep, it remembers what was running
and re-runs it when restarted. Now, since xearth was running it goes into
the "it-was-running-so-run-it-again" list. But it is still in my autoexec
so it gets run again. If I don't notice on restart (or remember) that there
is now two instances running, and I restart again, I get three instances.
And do on. How do I make this stop? Do I have to explicitly stop xearth
before quitting? I made a script that greps the ps output and kills xearth
and tried putting it in the Start->Quit->Restart this Session file but
afterstep complained and refused to run. How do I do this?
