that works.. i suggest you do not use X if you need to exit out of it often though. you don't have to exit X to reboot(if thats what you want to do)
if you are not logging into X windows as root, launch an x term (so you get a command prompt) then type: su enter the root password when prompted then type: shutdown -h now if you want to shutdown the *whole* system or.. shutdown -r now if you want to reboot, you can also use the command 'reboot' if you want to prevent X from bstarting when the machine boots up, you can delete the file /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm then you will boot into the text console, and you can use the 'startx' command to start 'X', without the display manager(xdm) nate On Thu, 6 Jan 2000, Cameron Matheson wrote: mathes >Hey, mathes > mathes >I am sorry for asking so many questions, but I am only fifteen, so I don't mathes >have any sort of large income to spend on books. mathes > mathes >I was just wondering if I am logging out of X Windows correctly.
