Hello, I recently put up X-windows under AIX 2.2.1 and I've been having some problems when exiting. I start up X with an xinit call from the console, which starts the session manager (aixwm) and fires up an aixterm. When I exit aixterm, the grey X-windows screen appears, but I no longer have any session manager or window in which to type. I have to log in from another host and kill the xterm process to get the console back. There has to be a cleaner way of going out of X. Has anyone else run into this problem?

<CTRL>-<ALT>-<BACKSPACE> kills the X server.

<ALT>-<ACTION> will drop you into the console window. There's no need
to go through another machine. It's possible to use multiple virtual
terminals in addition to the console window and the X environment. Try
the 'open' command.
Commands running in aixterm windows may block waiting to write to the
screen while the windows are hidden or X is switched out by
<ALT>-<ACTION>. The virtual terminals don't block; just like a real
terminal, they scroll merrily away whether or not you're looking at
them.

Hello, If you wish to kill off the X-server simply press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This will kill off the X-server along with the windows and window-manager. Paul

You can exit from X at any time by entering ctl-alt-backspace. I hope this helps. Opinions are strictly my own, Allan D.
