You mean log out of X or log out of evo?

Try using fuser on the mounted partition to find out what's holding a lock.

I notice evo leaves up a bonobo thing and wombat, whatever wombat is.

"killev" gets rid of them. It might also be useful on ex-guv's, but he's ou=
t
of the picture now, so it doesn't matter.

I don't know if there's a better way of making evo shutdown all the way.
