SYNOPSIS:    How to start/stop CDE manually

OS RELEASE:  Solaris 2.4, 2.5 

PRODUCT:     Solaris CDE 

KEYWORDS:    cde diskless installation


DESCRIPTION:

Once CDE is installed on your system, it will be started automatically
upon booting.  How do you change this behavior so that you can start it
manually later instead?


SOLUTION:

The CDE installation puts two files under the /etc/rc*.d directory:

 /etc/rc1.d/K10dtlogin
 /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin

You can rename these files something other than the leading "K" or "S". 
Next time, rebooting will not start CDE. 

To Start CDE manually, you can invoke: 
 
 # /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin start

To Stop CDE manually, you can invoke: 
 
 # /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin stop
