Does anybody know how to restart X in centos 5.3? /etc/init.d/gdm | xdm seems to be missing.
thanks,

Those scripts never existed. GDM runs from an entry in /etc/inittab, not from an "rc" script. You should have these two lines in /etc/inittab:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5 x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
So if you have a need to restart X, do "telinit 3 ; telinit 5" and that will stop and start the gdm process.

I found that /usr/sbin/gdm-restart will also do the trick.
thanks,

CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE ?
Log out and log back in also works (which <ctl><alt><bs> will do, too).

I needed to do it remotely, via commandline. tnx,

You could do init 3 followed by init 5, but there's probably a better way I'm blanking on at the moment.
Also, please follow the group convention and do not top post.
