Hi Prakash,

Check by w command how many users are logged in, then get the pid of that perticular session by following command,
#ps -ef |grep -i pts/XX
XX will be digit no.
then from that output, u will get and PID which is logged in by ssh or telnet at that perticulat pts/XX session.

By killing that pid, session will be end.
Hope this solves ur query.
Dont forget to assign points.

Users normally do not log out of the system properly and the session is still active.

What HP-UX version are you using?
You may have bogus entries in utmp(4) and those may not be removed without rebooting:

Hi,

Adding to what vishnu said, since subject says "kill user session in unix", after finding active users and process IDs use the command
kill -9 pid. A similar problem arises when you do a usermod and there is an active session open. You use a similar procedure. Hope it helps a bit.
