I previously have used init S from both an xterm and from a console
login to enter single user mode then re-enter multi-user mode with X and
networking, but presently init S from an xterm leaves X in an unusable
state and init S from a console login doesn't shut down X properly and I
get the message that xdm is already running when returning to multiuser
mode only X is then unusable.
That is completely correct. "init s" changes to the single-user mode
runlevel but DOES NOT kill any user processes. You're supposed to go to
runlevel 1 first.
So use "init 1" to go to single user mode, or even better, use the
standard and more portable command "shutdown now" which effectively does
an "init 1" for you.
Not a bug, closing.
Mike.
OK, thanks for the information.
Regards,
Arthur.
