Why are gdm commands for stop and restart missing from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ? These were present in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 .
Raw
```
 /usr/sbin/gdm-restart
 /usr/sbin/gdm-safe-restart
 /usr/sbin/gdm-stop
```
What happened to the gdm stop/start commands and is there an alternate method for cleanly restarting gdm?
