I don't know where RH puts init scripts, but something like "/etc/init.d/kdm stop" is what you're looking for. It might be gdm or wdm or xdm instead. These are the X Display Managers that give you the graphical login screen. Remember where you find it and you can restart X with "... start" to get it going again. find /etc -type f -name \*dm -print With RH, you may be able to just change to a different runlevel too; one that doesn't start xdm. "init N" where N is listed in /etc/inittab as being a non-X runlevel. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
