Why is that better? If I am logged in twice (ssh) on a remote pc, and I issue a "shutdown -h now; exit" on one terminal, then the other terminal gets a warning message, and that connection is closed. So why all the extra work? (I've switched myself into learning mode... ;)
Rebooting just to log out a user?
We were not talking about that (rebooting just to log out a user).
"We" weren't, but it sure looked like you were. shutdown -h powers off the machine. What did you intend for it to do?
The OP wanted simply to forcibly log out a user (not all users)
Aha! Someone else (Jerry) pointed me at "Short of rebooting", but I did not understand him. That would mean probably something like "up to but not including rebooting". I thought it meant "right before rebooting" or "at the point of rebooting", and actually doing the "rebooting". I was wrong. Ok. Learned something. Thanks. :) (These kind of situations always remind me of the song "Communication Breakdown", Led Zeppelin I, which it was, sort of...) Cheers, Leen
