Hello Colin,

I need to restart the X server (XFree86 4.3.0) under Debian Sarge with a
script or program.
On other Linux systems, I now that I can use "init 3" to terminate the X
server and then use "startx" to start it again, but on my Debian system this
does not work.
Additionally I have no runlevel 5. On other Linux systems, this runlevel is
used for a graphical X environment, but on Debian it simply does not exist.
Is there a way to add this, because I want to autostart the X server after
login.
AFAIK in Debian runlevels 2-5 are equivalent. You enable/disable the
graphical login to your system by adding/removing gdm (or whatever
graphical login manager you are using) to the runlevel you are starting
in (I am starting in the default runlevel 2, you can check yours in your
/etc/inittab). If you just install gdm, it should add itself to the
appropriate runlevel.
Respectively, you should be able to restart X by running the following
as root:
invoke-rc.d gdm restart
which would basically run
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
At least that is the way I do it.
Best regards,
Andrey
