the process that you need to kill from the cml, is /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow console

It will be listed as such:

532 loginwindo 0.0% 0:00.55 3 117 126 1.13M 5.61M 4.39M 133M

You have to be root to kill this process and it will not affect other users that are logged in via the GUI.

Cheers!

i don\'t have one

But it is also the reason you have to log out. Because if you kill that process you get logged out. :-)

Well, yea, I know you can kill the loginwindow to force an immediate logout, but that's not really what I was asking :).

I was curious if there's a non-destructive process that could be restarted without requiring the logout step. Since this used to work instantly in 10.1, I was hoping there'd be a somewhat easy way to do the same in 10.4...
