Please teach me which command line in the console which I can use to display which users are being logged in. They login through NIS.

A simple who should tell you who's logged in. A ps should tell you which process is used to be logged in, and kill is always useful in kicking them off. Are these users not supposed to be able to log in or do you want to kick a certain type of user?

Sometimes killing the root process (normaly /bin/bash) will still leave running processes. This is not very complete, however, it should work. Name it somthing like 'killuser' and run 'killuser username'. NOTE: This is mean ... unforgiving ... and sometimes fun (I did this to my wife ... just as she was about to win her card game ... ONCE ;-) ). #!/bin/bash echo echo "----------------------------------------------" echo Killing all processes owned by user $1 echo "----------------------------------------------" kill -9 `ps -u $1 -o "pid="` echo "----------------------------------------------" echo There are `ps -u $1 -o "pid=" | grep -c ""` processes left for user $1 echo "----------------------------------------------" echo -- Louis D.
