Fastest Way to Force Log Off Users and Their Processes

[Alzhy]

How?

killall?
init 1
whodo

Por Favori?

Am writing a Poor Man's Failover procedure wherein a currently running server takes on the role of another w/o needing a reboot. All Security settings (tcb, passwd, group) and configs, storage are brought-in/migrated sans a reboot.

Hi Nelson:

perhaps:

# fuser -ku mountpoint

...or:

# fuser -ku /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ

Thanks it's already in my script.

But I'd want something done prior to my looper that kills processes hooked on them mount points and unmounts the filesystems.

How are they logging in, Nelson? For us, as CDE users, they all have a parent dtlogin session. I believe that if you do "ps -ef |grep dtlogin" and use the output to loop through and kill off all the parent login processes, that would pretty well take care of it.

Hi (again) Nelson:

If you wanted to compose a list of 'pids' that don't belong to root:

# PIDS=$(UNIX95= ps -e -o uid= -o pid=|awk '$1!~/^0$/ {print $1}')

# kill ${PIDS}

Regards!

How about stop the networking?

/sbin/init.d/net stop ; sleep 60 ; /sbin/init.d/net start


Course, how to stop them from logging back on?

cp -p /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bak
passwd -l $user
