[Cialug] Freeing disk space

[Josh More]

No, it won't touch established sessions (unless something is really borked).

And Paul is right.  In the Debian world, the init levels are different.  More details will help.  I picked 3 and 5 because I seemed to remember that you preferred SUSE systems, and that method should work on SUSE and RedHat/Fedora-based systems.

However, be aware that if the problem is that an X subsystem is running but not running correctly, the *dm restart may not fix the problem.  That's why I went to init levels.  That should stop all X-related services and restart them.

Won't that kill my ssh session?
