Re: How to quit XDM ?

 According to the man page for init | telinit...
 NIT(8)        Linux System Administrator's Manual        INIT(8)

        When  init  is  requested to change the runlevel, it sends
	the warning signal SIGTERM to all processes that are unde­ 
	fined in the new runlevel.  It then waits 5 seconds before 
	forcibly terminating these processes via the SIGKILL  sig­ 
	nal.  Note that init assumes that all these processes (and 
	their descendants) remain in the same process group  which 
	init  originally created for them.  If any process changes 
	its process group affiliation it will  not receive  these 
	signals.  Such processes need to be terminated separately.
