Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Sorry about the rather off-topic question. I've been starting XDM via a startup file in the rc.d directory. As of now the only way I can stop XDM is to escape to another available console and kill all XDM associated processes. Is there a simpler way to stop XDM outside the method I am currently using? Did I read in a past simular post that the "exec" command should preceed the execution of XDM within the XDM/rc.d startup script? What does adding exec to the script actually do?
