Subject: Xwindows won't shut down

I had to reboot while Xwindows was running. Now I can't restart X because I get a message that Xwindows has not shut down. 

How do I shut it down? 

I checked the man pages for startx, X and xdm, but all I could find related to shutting it down was to create a "magic app" in my startup file. Does X lock a file or something to say that it's running? 

Thanks in advance.
