I have cron restart both GDM and SRSS nightly....  I did have an unfixable
26D (before trying the "fix" I mentioned earlier), and doing a pkill gdm
took care of it, but as mentioned doing so would bring down sessions in the
entire lab and several faculty workstations, not a good thing.  I tried
randomly running pkill -9 gdm-binary while I had several test session open,
and this mad ea huge mess.  the logged in sessions were fine and the
current login screen were fine, however attempting to log in via SunRay
would hang at 26B this time, and the only fix to get past that for that one
SunRay would be to run pkill -9 gdm-binary again, but this would have to
happen every time someone logs into a SunRay device for the fisrt time
since the command was run.....  Not sure why 26B this time instead of
26D....  The only fix that worked to get things back to normal (Sunray and
GDM restart brought all SunRays to 26B) was to do a utstop, bring the OS
down to init 3, bring OS back to init 5, then finally do a utstart (this
series of steps has taken care of almost any Sunray issue I have ever had,
but obviously brings down all sessions).
