Well,.... On my sys (SuSE 7.3) it's runlevel 0: Halt runlevel 1: single user runlevel 2: multiuser-without-network runlevel 3: multiuser-network runlevel 4: not used runlevel 5: Multiuser-network-GUI runlevel 6: Reboot Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was the Same on 7.1, 7.2, and Mandrake 7.2 Unless you running a different distro, that varies from the standard init order, this should be correct?!?!

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.
Yes, that's not wanted, mostly.
Anybody care to explain the difference?
Well, letting X shutting down itself by selecting some shutdown-command and killing the server after all other processes have died is the more nice way to do it, as well as init 2 (not 3). ctrl-alt-BS kills the server and takng all procs with it.
Also, _should_ 'init 3' close down xdm (and consequently X) or not?

I reckon you are mistaken SuSE Linux with some other OS (I think SunOS or similar); SuSE has always had these runlevels. 5 is never used before AFAIK and runlevel 3 is multi-user with network and GUI.
ctrl-alt-bs will indeed restart X but isn't the nicest way, but I could very well be mistaken too. I've only used Linux as servers for anything and nothing, mostly without X.

Why not just hit CTRL-ALT-Backspace? That will have X restart.
