[gentoo-user] Question about xorg and a kill process

[Dale]

I know the subject is a bit lacking but here goes.  I'm thinking about
trying this xorg-server upgrade again.  I been thinking about a way to
do this and not have to pull the plug on my rig if it fails, which I bet
it does.  This is the command I am thinking about trying. 

/etc/init.d/xdm start && sleep 5m && /etc/init.d/xdm stop

I'm thinking this way.  Start X first.  If it fails, it will stop in 5
minutes and come back to a console.  Think this will work?  If xorg
works, I can switch back to a console and ctrl C the command and carry on.

Thoughts?  Better ideas?
