' /etc/init.d/xdm restart '
This would restart your login manager, assuming your running one.
(gdm/kdm/xdm/slim)
I would recommend on finding out the root of your X locking up,
rather than actually trying to band-aid it.

simple, but I can't seem to find documentation on this particular
thing and it's not like the usual init.d services. Lots on
startup, a
bit on shutdown, but nothing I see is about restart.
When this happens, sometimes X is using 100% of one of the CPU's,
but
I don't always check and haven't recently verified my impression
that
sometimes all CPU's are at an idle (I have 4 hyperthreads).
Can somebody help me stop and restart X? I'm using kdm for login.
maybe you can ssh to your machine and then:
ps -A | grep X
and see the pid of X...
and then kill [pid of X]...
Or, you can do a /etc/init.d/xdm restart . Either should work.
On another note, you may want to find out why it is locking up.
This should not be happening. Are you sure it is locked up or
could it be that what you are doing is just using all the CPU
processes and it is to busy to respond?
Maybe some serious guru will come in with a plan.
