Honestly, that never crossed my mind - arcane and similar to
CTRL-ALT-DEL.
Yet what I want is to properly shut all services down which are related
to the GUI - which is more than just blowing away X. Of course I don't
know exactly what is going to be affected by CTRL-ALT-Backspace, but my
suspicion is that it would
'just' kill the server - and a lot of processes are going to die as
collateral dammage.
Anybody care to explain the difference?
Also, _should_ 'init 3' close down xdm (and consequently X) or not?

Until SuSE 7.1, I could simply restart the X server by typing 'init 3', then 'init 5'.
Why not just hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace? That will have X restart. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.
