I have been unsuccessful in killing xdm.  I have commented out my 
/etc/ttys entry and did a kill -HUP 1, then tried to kill the deamons, 
but they keep restarting.

I used kill `ps -awx| grep xdm | cut -c 1-6`, but that is not fast 
enough, as I keep getting messages that the ps jobs do not exist.

Any other ideas.  It's seems to be slowing down my backups.
