First thing that comes to mind is to use VNC from att. It is free and very
good. It allows the client to connect to a session, disconnect and reconnect to
the same session right where you left off. Even from a different machine.
to kill the sessions I would log into the box and either as the user the
sessions were or as root do:
killall X
the ps ax to see if it worked. if not I would then do:
killall -9 X
that should do it. And yes it is bound to be using at least some resources.
Last, telnet is is terribly insecure. Look into ssh. no passwords in the
clear and it will set up the X environment for you.
