Disconnect a user

[aixahole]

Is it possible to disconnect a user listed under the who command:

aixbox:/usr: who
freak lft0 Aug 05 10:20
freak pts/0 Aug 05 10:20 0.0)
freak pts/1 Aug 05 10:20 0.0)
iamsam pts/2 Aug 05 10:26 (10.88.5.28)
iamsam pts/4 Aug 05 11:46 (10.88.5.110)
iamsam pts/5 Aug 06 08:40 (10.88.5.26)

For example, how could you disconnect everybody lkogged in as iamsam? And, how could you disconnect just 10.88.5.26?

Thanks,
AIX AHOLE

try command who -u | more this will give you the PID. Then type kill PID like kill 130023 or something. Or you can type ps -ef | grep iamsam then kill PID for user iamsam.

find the pid asscoiated with the pts/? and do a kill on the pid. Also, you might try pdisable pts/?, although I think you might only be able to use pdisable on a tty and not on a pseudo term.

ps -t ${TTY} will give you a list of processes that are attached to a given tty or pseudo.
