Hi all,
I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows at runlevel by default. I have modified /etc/inittab to accomplish this:
x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
But this returns errors every time that start and stop system ... Which is the correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels??
Many thanks.

The first character needs to be unique; it's an identifier. You can't have multiple lines called "x"
So try x4:4:respawn:... x5:5:respawn:...
to make them unique.

Also X windows expect some service to be started a that runlevel ! Like xfs ! Check them.

Ok, problem solved. I have modified inittab's file like this:
x:45:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
and all works ok. Many thanks to all for your help.
