stop xserver or stop compiz

[gulanito]

Hi.
The question is very simple: what can I do for stop the xserver from command line? and for stop compiz? thanks!

Well, you can kill the server with % killall -15 Xorg (or -9 to show it how angry you are), which should bring down anything running under X. I don't know what the compiz process calls itself, but you could do the same to that.

I'm not saying this is the best way, but it should work.

Don't use killall, learn to use pkill. Killall can work quite different on other unici.
