GRASS GRASS user

Dear friends:

I have installed my grass under solaris now.
But, on my 1st time that I exited from grass-shell
I forgot two (x0-x1) display monitor active and
now I can't use this two monitor on other sessions!

Could someone help-me?

Cheers,

Could you use the ps command (from the unix shell), find which processes
are running x0 and x1, and use the kill command to shut them down?

The happened to me also. Even I killed the processes, I could not run x0
again. Seems there is a lock file somewhere that control the devices.

This would be a lock file under $GISBASE/locks/<machine_name>/. The
difficulty is in associating the correct lock file with the monitor. If
you can be sure that all monitors have been stopped that are running
from a particular machine, you can simply remove all lock files under
that machine name.
