UNIX

You could look up all processes from a user and then kill each one, one by one (i.e. user = bill):
ps - U bill
kill -9 {all processes listed by the previous command - enter one by one and enter)

You could use the kill command to kill all processes for a user:
kill -9 `ps -u bill | grep -v PID | awk '{ printf ("%s ", $1); }'`

This works in Linux and is much simpler, but I can't verify that it works in Unix:
# skill -CONT -u bill

Hi,
what do you mean with 'disconnect'?
If you want to leave your processes running when terminating the shell,
you can use 'nohup' to protect them from 'hangup', '&' to put them in background and redirection to capture output, e.g.
nohup [my_long_running_job] >[logfile] 2>&1 &
Should there be an already running foreground job, put it in the background by pressing <CTL-Z> and then issuing 'bg'.
Prevent it from being terminated when you leave the shell by issuing
disown [job]
[job] is found by issuing 'jobs'
 
wmp
 

... sorry, I just saw it's AIX.
There is no 'disown' in AIX, use
nohup -p [pid]
instead.

I mean, when the users are connected via appletalk, some times they connect with the same username from more computers, so, when I loggin via terminal I do the "w" command to see how many users are connected and from which computers, at this moment when I decide to disconnect, to end the session of one of them and to make him/her to connect again I don't know how to do, and every time I have to go to their computers and diconnect the connection by hand!
But, I remember that I used to use one command, I don't really remember it, it was somthing lik fuser -k KA3.0 or something else!!!!
Any help?

Hi,
fuser -k kills all processes using a specific resource, such as a file or a tty.
Now I'm not familiar with appletalk.
If we knew whch resource to 'kill', this would do the trick.
Could you please post, as first steps,
1) the output of ps -ef | grep [userid], where [userid] is one of your appletalk users,
2) the output of procfiles -nF [pid], where [pid] is the process id from 1) (the second column)
I guess we'll have to terminate (with fuser -k) processes using some tty, or the like.
wmp
 
 

I agree, we have to terminate using some tty, so how I have to do the command for kill the user bellow?
