Kick existing connected users
 

Through the "who" command, I can see that someone is connected to my machine (I allowed the ssh connection a week ago), but now I'm ready for him to disconnect. Is there a command that will immediately disconnect this user from my box?

Thanks,

who returns pts number
example: joeuser pts/5
ps aux | grep pts\/5 | grep -v grep
example: joeuser 4452 ... pts/5 ... /bin/bash
kill -9 4452

hope this helps

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I understood the majority of that command, with the exception of pts\/

the \ is necessary to escape the / (tell grep that we are looking for the '/' character ;)

Ah! Thanks!
