[LinuxUsers] Centos 5 X server Shutdown?

[Chris Penn]

look in sbin, indeed that is what I did......

Regardless, I will probably forget again being that most of the
machine I work on do not have a  GUI.  I can't remember the last time
I had to shutdown an xserver on Centos/RHEL.  It is lame that they do
not link the command; if people are dumb enough to use unknown
commands when they are root, then the person that gave them root is to
blame.
