Hello.

Quoting from Wayne Hernandez (Thu Sep 21 19:52:51 1995):

You are killing any process with the string "xdm" in the arg list.
This includes the grep process, but it's irrelevant. First of all,

Anyway there's no need to grep for the pid. Under R5 the pid is
stored in: /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid, I don't know the location
under R6 but I suppose it's in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid.

Bye,
