I created my own init script for gdm in /etc/rc.d/init.d, and if it is
set up properly, you can use chkconfig --add to create the rc.[0123456]
links. I also edited inittab and commented out where it starts it up in
runlevel 5. Then you may have to edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to disable
starting a server when you enter runlevel 3, 4 or 5. Make sure under the
[servers] section there is not something like 0=/usr/bin/X11/X or else
comment it out.
Here's the gdm init script I use:
------------------- Start ------------------
#!/bin/bash
# init file for gdm
#
# chkconfig: 345 98 02
# description: X Display Manager Daemon
#
# processname: gdm
# config: /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
# config: /etc/X11/gdm/gdm-config
# source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
RETVAL=0
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting gdm: "
daemon /usr/bin/gdm -config /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/gdm
echo
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down gdm: "
killproc gdm
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/gdm
echo
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
RETVAL=$?
;;
status)
status gdm
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: gdm {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
