Hi all,
f18
Just had an inexplicable (to me) event occur.
Accidentally typed "ctrl-alt-l" which caused a logout from my runlevel
5, but did NOT shut down the running processes.

Thank you Joe Zeff and Rick Stevens.
Your responses took me down a path and am pretty sure that I used up a
pair of glasses but that path opened up a whole new level of usability
that I never knew was there.
Joe: magic sysrq key on my old Dell laptop turned it into a stand-alone
with external everything (it faces the back wall where I don't have to
look at it ;D
Rick: my X session was screwed up. I can ctrl-alt-l to my heart's
content and everybody can log in without killing anybody else's session
or the virtuals (router, mail, db, web, ... (family happy now; me too :)
Fedoristi, you're the best!
Ancient tech to the rescue!!! Woo Hoo
Glad you got it sorted. Probably a good idea to tag this thread SOLVED
if it is, indeed, solved. :-)
