Hi guys!
Sorry, stupid question - how right restart x-session from cli (script?) without entering login/password? It's possible?
System: Porteus-LXDE-v3.0.1-i486
TNX!

From CLI you can hit it with a hammer: killall X
Probably better would be to pass an init stage: init 3

you could press 'Ctrl+Alt+Backspace' to kill Xorg but i'm not sure if lxdm allows autologin after a restart (i know than kdm does for sure).
if you really need autologin then perhaps you could call /usr/bin/xdm instead of lxdm in /etc/rc.d/rc.4 script (not tested myself).

I have used a custom xdm file and removed lxdm and it 'auto logs in' without a problem when X is killed.

Maybe you can try this:-
telinit 3 && telinit 4
