[Chicago-talk] system command to kill Xwindows session?

Your question is incoherent; obviously if you are looking for a system
command, then its not a Perl function.

How did you start the process that opened the window, and are you willing to
kill the entire process?  

On Unix, if you know the process-id, then try:

	system("kill TERM $thePid");

Does anyone know if there is a perl fucntion or a command that can be put
into system("") that will kill Xwindow and return a script/user to the
console?

Thanks,

Richard
