How to force logout other users from the system?
When I login over ssh and "w" gives me:
| Code: | w
00:12:57 up 14 min, 6 users, load average: 0.99, 0.87, 0.59
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
joseph :0.0 00:10 ?xdm? 47.77s 0.01s /bin/sh /etc/X11/Sessions/Xfce4
joseph pts/0 00:10 2:40 0.00s 0.00s bash
joseph pts/1 00:10 2:40 0.00s 0.00s bash
joseph pts/2 00:10 2:40 0.00s 0.00s bash
joseph pts/3 00:05 0.00s 0.02s 0.00s sshd: joseph [priv]
joseph :0.0 00:10 ?xdm? 47.77s 0.01s /bin/sh /etc/X11/Sessions/Xfce4 |
if I type: pkill -KILL -u joseph
I will logout myself as well.
When I kill "xdm" (graphical interface) via ssh "w" gives me: | Code: | w
00:19:54 up 21 min, 3 users, load average: 0.69, 0.78, 0.65
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
joseph pts/3 00:05 0.00s 0.02s 0.00s sshd: joseph [priv] |
it does not list all users, why?
In addition, I don't have a console display either just blank screen. |

Kill only the processes associated with the specific login you want to kill. If everything is under the same user ID, then you need to kill the processes by PID.
Killing XDM is probably not a good idea. Instead, you should kill the window manager and its children. |

Try pkill -TERM for xdm, to kill it less harshly, and perhaps it will give you a console display before it breathes its last breath 
That is, if you *are* wanting to kill xdm. |
