do you know the terminal name ??? or tty number ? because if you did just do a this command " ps -ef |grep tty????" or if you knew what command he was trying to run , if you were doing a backup process and you were running a cpio command to backup to the tape you could use " ps -ef |grep cpio" and well then you could work out who the processes were and well you may have to result in killing the process off ! -----Original Message----- From: mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 05 June 2003 10:31 To: list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LUG] Unix admin Hi all, Not strictly Linux - I am using Unix at work and a user logged in on the main server to run the backup (that's the way the software suppliers set it up) has locked out. I cannot see how to logout the user remotely. To add to the confusion, all non root logins use the same user account so I need to log off the user using the terminal name. I could restart the server but that means downtime which I would like to avoid. Does anyone have any ideas please?
