I'm sure there's more than one way to do it, but try who The who command will tell you all the users loged into the system. Then use ps aux|grep username Substitute the user you want to kill for username. Notice the process id for everything running as that user and to kill -9 pid Play around and see what happens. If you take out the bash process for the user on a specific tty, you will usually kill every other process on that tty. Like I said, play around and see how it will work. I'm probably not explaining well, but you will see what I mean by playing. Hope this helps. Kenny On Sun, May 08, 2005 at 02:21:25AM -0400, ace wrote: > It worked, thanks.
