Hi all
I need to disable / stop X from running on a remote server, to which I
only have SSH access, and I have never done this before. So, can
someone please tell me how todo it?
telinit 3
This will cause the server to switch from runlevel 5 (which includes X) to
runlevel 3 (which does not). _But_ a small warning here: runlevel 3 may very
well differ in more ways that just lacking X. Depending on how your server is
configured you may shutdown some services you wanted to keep (you may also
start new ones you didn't expect).
To further investigate what you server does indeed run in runlevel 3 and 5
study relevant columns from the command: "chkconfig --list".

Thanx, I did notice it, but since this is a Xen server, with everything
running on the domU VM, I need very little running on the main server as
it is. So I have disabled a lot of unnecessary services as well.
