Re: /etc/init.d/gdm for centos5

I found that /usr/sbin/gdm-restart will also do the trick. 

thanks,

Those scripts never existed.  GDM runs from an entry in /etc/inittab,
not from an "rc" script.  You should have these two lines
in /etc/inittab:

# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

So if you have a need to restart X, do "telinit 3 ; telinit 5"  and that
will stop and start the gdm process.
