Good Afternoon,

Does anyone know how to stop X from running and to stop it from loading at boot? I never had this problem until my Co-Located server with Pwebtech was moved to their new facility and it is eating my resources!

what OS?

Red Hat 9

In your /etc/inittab file, look for the following:

id:5:initdefault:

This needs to be changed to the following:

id:3:initdefault:

That will stop the machine from going into run level 5, which is graphical mode. Runlevel 3 is full multiuser mode without graphical mode.

You can switch to runlevel 3 from the command line with `init 3`.

Thank you!
