RE: log-out a user - How To

["Rigler, Steve" <SRigler MarathonOil com>]

How about:

fuser -k /dev/pts/12

Will kill all processes on that tty.

You can also kill all processes owned by that user with something like:

ps -ef | awk '$1 == "username" { print $2 }' | xargs kill -9

Subject: log-out a user - How To



Hi, 
I have an idle user log in from pts/12. I think it's an artifact because the 
user was using vncviewer, and then when I killed the vncserver, the login is 
still there. I want to delete the user (using userdel) from my system but I 
can't because it says the user is login.

How do I log him out from that session? Of course, I have a root access.

Thanks.
RDB
