If you have a display manager (KDM, GDM, WDM or XDM) you should be able to do that by using the K(G/W/X)DM stop and K(G/W/X)DM start command in the directory containing your runlevels. Or if you don't have any of these installed, startx and killall X should do it for starting/stopping KDE (provided that you have the "exec startkde" line into your ~/.xinitrc file).

Using killall isn't a good idea for KDE. A better to logout of KDE via the commandline is through dcop for KDE 3.x or dbus for KDE 4.x.

For KDE 3.x, I use the command:
$ dcop --all-sessions --user username ksmserver default logout 0 0 0

For KDE 4.x, make sure the environment variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set for the appropriate session. You can usually find this in /usr/home/username/.dbus/session-bus/. Then use the command:
$ qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 0 0 0

Sory for that, It's been quite a long time since I last used KDE (around 2.x), I have been in gnome since.

if you are going direct to X on bootup
you can put all the startup stuff in

$HOME/.xsession

if you use startx

they go in

~/.xinitrc

thx, but I'd like to start and stop kdm from the command line just if I really want and not every time.

startx doesn't help, because I cannot connect using a remote connection tool for example xwin32.

under freeBSD 7.0 it was very easy using:
Code:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdm start
