HOW TO KILL SESSIONS

Hi,

Can some some suugest me how to kill a user session. But root user is not available.

Because users are working in night shift, they are not able to work if network is suddenly disconnected. Users are getting $ prompt.

One user cannot kill another users session.

You can use 'sudo' for things like this, but if you don't have root access in some fashion then you are pretty much out of luck.

You need Install Sudo.

>>IF script contain root password, its not a problem to me.<<

This is danger, if some "Smart" people come to know about this they could hack your server more over its "Secuity violation"

Sudo will drive safe.

Hi,

Apart from root, the same user can kill the user session (same user's).
for example if you want to kill user "abc"
then logged in as "abc" and kill old "abc" user.
