stop x windows?
Hi
I am testing a few services on two red hat servers, i was wondering would stopping x windows on the server improve performance and speed? and what is the best way to do this i.e. chkconfig it? Thanks in advance |
Have you monitored the CPU usage with something like top? If it is low, like less than 50% with few or no peaks at or above 90-95%, then it will probably not improve server performance. Server performance is often limited by disk & network throughput, so performance improvements shoud be focused on those areas. You can stop the X server gracefully, generally through a desktop control/menu, or ungracefully with Ctrl-Backspace. Your distro may have it configured to automatically restart after being killed. You can force the system to boot into console-only mode by adjusting the runlevel to 3. In /etc/inittab, find a line near the top of the file that resembles this:
Code:
id:5:initdefault: --- rod. |
Huge thanks.
Was looking for that to install Nvidia latest drivers. Again thanks:D |
