command to close X
 

hi guys i know the command to start the x server is "startx" and ctrl alt delete is the keyboard short cut or atleast on slackware, to close X. i wanted to know what the comand is though.

If you boot into runlevel 4 (on Slackware "with X") you can execute "telinit 3" as root.

You can as well configure <CTRL>+<ALT>+<BACKSPACE> to close the X-server, this can be configured in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keyboard-layout.conf file (if you're running Slackware).

If your X-Server is using HAL you may look for a ??-keyboard.fdi file in your /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ directory or edit your xorg.conf (if you have any)

This is a distro specific question.


:twocents: Debian Option : /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop


Which one are you running ? :confused:

Try
or
This can however verify depending on the distro.
Look in
for the runlevels of your distro

Kind regards

See what the All-Knowing Wikipedia has to say about runlevels:

if you are using a gnome desktop

pkill gdm

might also work.
