kill all login users script

[Norman_21]

Hello everbody,
I wrote the following simple script to kill all login users
but when I run it states that the process id is not identified. Also, I need to filter the root account from that script, meaning I do not want the root to be killed.

PID='who -u|cut -c 45-49'
kill -9 $PID

please advise
apprecaite your support

Hi,

You can use this,

PID=`who -u | grep -v root | awk '{print $7}'`
kill -9 $PID

However, it's not a good choice to use -9 unless the job has no response. I suggest you should use -15 or -TERM !

Regards,
Patrick

hi,

Have a look that this thread, where there are very good sysadmin scripts:

For you kill user script, this one will be ok as soon as you customise it:
