You can now kill off the processes 

start with the command " kill -15 10194 10182" 
this should clear down the process .

If this does not clear you might have to repeat the command a few times , if
it still doesnt disappear you may have to replace the 15 for 9 
this is a hard kill.

I hope this helps 
Wayne

Hi,

Thnx for the quick reply.

Output from ps:

 ps -ef |grep tty01

   root  6369     1  0   Jun-04   tty01    00:00:00 /bin/login sXXs

 sXXs 10182  6369  0 17:01:12   tty01    00:00:00 -sh

 sXXs 10194 10182  0 17:01:15   tty01    00:00:00 /u/acuserve/bin/runcbl -s
W
   root 11810 11332  2 10:38:54   ttyp6    00:00:00 grep tty01          

what do I do now?

<blush>Still really a newbie even though I have used linux at home for a
while now - not got into the nuts & bolts.</blush>

Many thnx,

Mark

do you know the terminal name ??? 
or tty number ?

because if you did just do a this command " ps -ef |grep tty????" or if you
knew what command he was trying to run , if you were doing a backup process
and you were running a cpio command to backup to the tape you could use 
" ps -ef |grep cpio" and well then you could work out who the processes were
and well you may have to result in killing the process off !

Hi all,

Not strictly Linux - I am using Unix at work and a user logged in on the
main server to run the backup (that's the way the software suppliers set it
up) has locked out.

I cannot see how to logout the user remotely. To add to the confusion, all
non root logins use the same user account so I need to log off the user
using the terminal name.

I could restart the server but that means downtime which I would like to
avoid.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Mark Harvey
