How to restart Xorg graphic server from cmd line (SOLVED)

[UncleScrooge]

I don't know if this is the right forum, all I know is that I am still a rookie (which is exhilarating given my age )

subject is pretty much self explanatory:
how do I accomplish the same thing as clicking on "Menu>Exit>Restart graphical server" but from the command line?

I tried systemctl but it ain't there. service(s) listing leaves me puzzled, Xorg -help makes me scratch the top of my head, so here I am.

I'm 7 years from retirement so...
shall we say that the "Old Farts Club" is growing strong and healthy?

thanks a lot "pop"

Hello UncleScrooge!

If you ever find yourself at the shell prompt and no X server is running use this script to restart the complete graphical server and desktop in Puppy Linux.

Code: Select all

xwin

In other Linux distros the same can usually be done with

Code: Select all

startx

Just a little bit more information for you on the road your on.
