"exit" can only kill an xterm terminal. How to exit the whole X system? Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will hard-kill an XWindows session. Make sure you've saved all your work, because this will not stop to ask you :-) Ideally, you should use your window manager's Exit or Logout function. If you're using vanilla startx, I think you can right/middle click the desktop or something (haven't used TWM for a long time) to pop up a menu. Finally, you can Ctrl-Alt-F(1-8) to go back to the virtual console which you started X from, and hit Ctrl-C. Cheers, David Adam zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
