Well, you can run the shutdown command from
the xterm, nothing wrong with that.
AFIK, <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Backspace> will get rid
or X, I'm not sure if it'll kill the xdm.
Or, if you're feeling lucky, kill the xdm and
the xserver ( I'm not sure how to do that, I
don't use xdm ) from xterm after ps.
To kill the X server, cat your ~/.xinitrc,
and look for the last entry in the file.
( By last entry I mean the last line to a
program, ignore the comments, etc. )
Once that program is killed, X will close,
and you will be back to the prompt. ( Again,
I'm not sure of xdm, you'll have to kill it
first, I think )
Hope this helps,
Nikita.
