Frank, that works perfectly. However, copying gdm.sh.sample as gdm.sh so that "stop" will work also starts gdm on boot, and I don't want that. However, I now see what gdm.sh is doing. The command, from that file, is 'killall -m gdm 2' and that is much simpler than running top, identifying the PID and then killing the gdm binary. Thanks for showing me the way!
