Sometimes killing the root process (normaly /bin/bash) will still leave running processes.
With the kill -9 you put in your script I think that's possible, but would a kill -HUP cause the same problem if you kill the parent process?

I think the previous sugestion of "kill -1" would work. The only time (other than to anger my wife) I have used this command was to clear a client that was locked up hard from some game that froze. I used "-9" and ran it a couple of times till nothing was left and the system came back to life. This was an extreme situation and admitedly overkill for "logging off" a user. Of course, we could always make this another parameter and let people try what they want. -- Louis D. Richards LDR Interactive Technologies
