NAME
     gdm-stop - Stop the GDM daemon process

SYNOPSIS
     gdm-stop

DESCRIPTION
     gdm-stop stops the GDM daemon process by sending a TERM sig-
     nal  to  the GDM daemon. This command immediately terminates
     all sessions and logs out users  currently  logged  in  with
     GDM.

     On Solaris, the GDM service is managed by the smf(5) service
     management    facility    under   the   service   identifier
     svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm.   On  Solaris,  it  is
     recommended that you use the svcadm(1m) utility to start and
     stop the GDM service instead of using gdm-stop(1m).
