Hi ibug

kill `ps | grep Xvesa | cut -f 1 -d " "`

The PID returned by  ps  may or may not contain a leading blank so that command is not reliable.
This is probably a better choice:

Code: [Select]

kill `ps | grep Xvesa | grep -v grep | cut -c1-5`No, it will not damage anything.

use kill `ps|awk '/Xvesa/ && !/awk/ {print $1}'`

also look in the file /etc/inittab
