"/etc/init.d/xdm stop" problem in hamm

[lee@sectionIV.com (Lee Bradshaw)]

Hi,

I didn't find any info about this problem on the bug tracking system. Can
someone confirm the problem before I file a bug?

/etc/init.d/xdm "stop" and "restart" don't work properly in hamm.

  freefall /etc/init.d # ps x  # some output deleted
    PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
   3305  ?  S    0:00 /usr/bin/X11/xfs
   4098   1 S    0:00 -bash
   5020  ?  S    0:00 /usr/bin/X11/xdm
   5022  ?  S    0:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16 -auth/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfile
   5138  ?  S    0:00 -:0
   5147   1 R    0:00 ps x
   5148   1 R    0:00 -bash
  freefall /etc/init.d # ./xdm stop
  Stopping X display manager: xdmstart-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 5138:
  No such process
  .
  freefall /etc/init.d #

5138 is there before executing "./xdm stop". The "stop" option does seem
to work although it generates the above error message. The "restart"
option does not work. I have to restart xdm with the "stop" option
followed by the "start" option.
