e17 user logout from another console
« on: November 25, 2010, 05:41:58 PM »
If desktop hangs, and only working thing is Ctrl+Alt+F2.
Is there a nice way (command) to logout from another console so after this you can return with Ctrl+Alt+F8 and login again?

Hi, what about gdm-restart, or gdm-safe-restart as root ?

Code: [Select]
# gdm-
gdm-binary               gdm-dmx-reconnect-proxy  gdm-safe-restart
gdm-control              gdm-restart              gdm-stop

you could try (as user)
enlightenment_remote -exit

To restart gdm i always do as root: /etc/init.d/dm restart
or switch to init 3 and back to init 5

you can also use "killall -KILL enlightenment" which will work if enlightenment is hung (I don't think enlightenment_remote works if enlightenment is hung).  This kills the enlightenment process which in turn kills all running applications and logs you out.
