CAVEATS
This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose 
connection to the X server is closed will abort nicely,
or even abort at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X 
server.
Many existing applications do indeed abort when their connection to the X 
server is closed, but some can choose to continue.
