> The question was:
> > I need to disable the CDE interface (dtlogin), I have OS Digital Unix

>
> The answers were:
>
> 1) To temporarily stop it do:
> /sbin/init.d/dtlogin stop
>
> TO permanently stop it rename /sbin/init.d/dtlogin
> 2) Edit /etc/rc.config. Change "cde" to "xdm". You will need to
> reboot.
>
> 3) When the system boots to run-level 3 it runs a the startup script
> /sbin/rc3.d/X##xlogin, where the X## is something like S19. This
> script is usually a link to /sbin/init.d/xlogin, which is set up start
> either CDE or XDM depending on what the system is configured to run.
>
> Use " rcmgr get XLOGIN " to find out what you have currently
> configured. If it comes back with cde, then thats what gets run. You can change

> the rcmgr setting to xdm in the rcmgr config file /etc/rc.config using vi,
> or just type rcmgr set XLOGIN xdm .
>
> 4) you can do
> xsetup
>
> telling it you want xdm instead of CDE.
>
> 5) Just move the /sbin/rc3.d/S95xlogin to s95xlogin, X will not be
> started anymore.
>
> Or on a system with X allready runnning type /sbin/rc3.d/S95xlogin
> stop this will stop your windows and then perform the move.
>
> 6) Look at XLOGIN in /sbin/init.d/xlogin and /etc/rc.config
>
> XLOGIN=cde --> CDE
> XLOGIN=xdm --> XDM
>
> 7) There are many ways to do that. if you don't cant any window
> manager, just remove the call to "Xlogin" in the /sbin/rc3.d directory. So your
> system will boot into console mode.
>
> If you want a window manager, install it and call it via the
> .xsession file in your home directory. I have ever install WindowMaker, KDE1.1, Afterstep
> and it works.
>
> Disable the startup script in /sbin/rc3.d. The usual method is to
> rename the script to start with T instead of S.
>
> 8) In the file /etc/rc.config, change the value of XLOGIN="cde" to
> XLOGIN="xdm"
> will boot give you AXP login interface. If you want no graphic
> login
> interface, rename the xlogin startup file in
> /sbin/rc3.d/S95xlogin to say
> /sbin/rc3.d/s95xlogin. This will not start the graphics login
> interface.
