Terminating Users from nwadmin 1

[test4echo]

Hi fellas,

I was wondering how I could terminate a users session from my workstation using command line options or NwAdmin.
The problem is that users are only give 4 concurrent conections ( thats how I want it) and once and a while a student forgets to log off and tried to go for 5th concurrent login and of course he can't. The simple solution is to have him logout of the other systems but naturally they can't remember the systems they had logged into earlier.
I've tried using the Monitor console at the Login Server but for some reason the users aren't always listed under connection information.
So, how can I log these user out?

Thanks

There is no way to disconnect users through NWAdmin.
The only way is from Monitor. If the user is not showing up hit F6 and INS to remove unused connections and refresh the list.

Thanks so much for replying Psychpt. I didn't think there was a way besides Monitor.

To be more accurate, you can use RCONSOLE from any workstation to access the Monitor screen and blow away any particular user session. I have found that it saves a lot of time if you authorize each user TWO sessions, so that if their PC seizes and reboots, they can still login without having to wait for either a SYSOP to delete their old session or the router to time out and lose their 'hung' session. They usually won't try to login on two machines at once (demand for physical PCs), so you're not creating any particular hazard.

Is there a way to logout users from the command line?

Since I have to have a utility that the user can run and log themselfs out.

NO using the client (RED N) to discounect is not an option.

Is there a way?

Thanks to all of you.
