NAME

Xstop − stop an X Display Manager

SYNOPSIS

Xstop

DESCRIPTION

The Xstop script stops xdm by running the system initialization xdm script with the argument stop.  The xdm script sends the currently running xdm process a SIGTERM signal to which xdm should respond by terminating all sessions in progress and exiting.  If xdm does not stop gracefully, the xdm script kills xdm with a SIGKILL signal.  The xdm script then removes the xdm lock file.
