My Xerrors file keeps filling up the var partition with an error code 22. Can't seem to find how to shut down the xsystem or how to stop the Xerrors file from growing. Running Solaris 7 on a DNS box so the windows system is not needed as access is restricted to command line only anyway. I tried changing the conf to limit the size of the file but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions are welcome.

Check what startup script is starting the X services and disable it.

do a ps -ef|grep X and examine what processes are running, check in /etc/rc2.d and rc3.d for the startup scripts.

I had checked the process list and there was no specific startup script - dtconfig does seem to work - thanks for the tips. It is -d or -kill to stop the CDE system

Please let me know how to avoid these entries getting added in wtmpx file.

Please start a new thread for a new problem. Even though they both result in /var filling up, the causes are completely different.
