kill the shell program. If you log in as root, do a 'ps aux' and find the shell that's running in the locked term and 'kill -9 #' On 20-Feb-98 Jim Hatridge wrote:

Hi all;

Got a question!, Sometimes when I'm playing around with new programs my keyboard locks up. Nothing works, I can only change to another termal (i.e. alt-FX). So far the only way I could get the screen usable again was by rebooting (shutdown now -r) from another termal.

The question is: is there a way to force a logout from another term?

Thanks

JIM
