Killing multiple user sessions?

NuxIT · 10-04-2006, 03:43 AM

I have a problem and I can't seem to figure out how to kill these additional users sessions I have running. I think each time I stop my main.py file that runs my last.fm audio streaming it keeps a user session running. It would makes sense since I've started the main.py and killed it two or three times now. Here are my users sessions I want to kill all but the :0 tty session I believe right? Thanks for any/all help.

Code:

nuxbox:/home/styles # users
styles styles styles
nuxbox:/home/styles # w
 02:46:40 up  2:55,  3 users,  load average: 0.13, 0.15, 0.34
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
styles   :0        23:52   ?xdm?   8:09   0.10s /bin/sh /opt/kde3/bin/startkde
styles   pts/1     23:53    2:53m  0.00s  4.46s kded [kdeinit]
styles   pts/0     02:34    0.00s  0.03s  0.01s /bin/bash

:0 is most likely for your X sessions, yes, it records you logged in when you have X running. On top of that, you most likely have pts/1 for your KDE session, so don't kill that one. And the last one on pts/0, that is probably the terminal you have running to run this command, yes, that records you as logged in as well. My suggestion, don't kill any of these if you want your system to run properly or you'll find yourself logging yourself out by kill these sessions.

Ok, it seemed strange to me because I've never noticed it before on any of my previous linux distros. I'm on my Linux Knoppix laptop right now and it only shows ONE user session. And I have KDE 3 running with the terminal session. I'll have to check my SUSE next time on a fresh boot. Here's my laptop.

Code:

root@nuxbox:/etc/ssh# users
james
root@nuxbox:/etc/ssh# w
 04:06:20 up 1 day, 14:58,  1 user,  load average: 1.46, 0.65, 0.37
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
james    :0       -                Tue13   ?xdm?   5:24m  0.13s /bin/sh /usr/bin/x-sessi
