It happens somtimes that I logon as root via ssh and for different reasons it happens sometimes that the session gets closed without the root user logging out. So after some time I will have several inactive root sessions logged in. I want to log those inactive root sessions off. I found out using 'killall -u root' was not a good idea. Any ideas?

Remote logoff of same user - Debian

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
