On a related note, I was just wondering, is it possible to remotely
kill an X session via kill -9 <pid> and not have to reboot the system
afterwards because the box froze up? This happened on a 4.2-RELEASE
machine, just installed with the latest release as of 3/20/2001. Just
wondered if there is any fix or way around that, in the event that X
screws up to the point that you just have to log in on another
terminal and kill -9 it. However, I don't have any logs or anything
to show pertinent to this situation, just my memory of the incident.
