End the GUI on TTY7, and start a new one elsewhere

How can I end the GUI from a different TTY, then start up a new one.

This is for the occasional freeze of the GUI, or inaccessibility. When all I can do is switch to another TTY (using Ctrl+Alt+F5 for TTY5) and start over, or reboot.

In most cases you can just use:
Alt+PrintScreen+K
