Hi,

kill -15 process_id for clean. kill -9 process_id for severe one.

You can get process_id from who command. refer to who man page for option. On my system I use "who -u". To kill all users just do :

for userprocess in `who -u | awk '{print $7}'
do
kill -15 $userprocess
done

Hi,

Make sure you dont kill your own user_id unless you want to run it from script. And you dont want anybody to logon duirng system backup or something.
