[SOLVED] How to shutdown the command terminal

amit_nsharma · 04-12-2010, 08:51 AM

Hi,

Please consider the following scenario:

1) 5 different terminals are opened on the same physical machine (not using putty) as a user ROOT
2) I need to shutdown only one(1) terminal out of the 5 terminals
3) I do not know the opening time of terminal
4) The only thing I know about the terminal to be closed is the "Title" of every terminal session

This is a practical problem which I need to execute. Please provide me the help at the earliest..

Thanks
Amit

Look at the output of w, who, and/or last to get the tty number, then log that one out.
