how to kill X on remote machine

fettouhi · 07-28-2003, 03:02 PM

Just wondering if I lock myself on an external machine with

X -query <host_address>_:1

how can I kill this X connection. I know how to switch between my own desktop and the desktop on the remote machine but I don't know how to kill X there.

Kind Regards

ssh to the box
ps aux | grep <your user ID>

locate your X session
kill -9 <your X session's PID>
