Kill graphical interface by button combination and switch to terminal


I need to kill x window system on mac (I'm linux user, I don't know how called graphical interface on mac, I need to switch from graphical interface to terminal) by a button combination.

Are there any button combination to do it?


Solution

  • Two alternatives:

    1. reboot in single user mode - hold down Command + S when rebooting

    2. if you have login method set to user name + password then type >console as the user name and no password
