Linux -- remote logging out

[Zach]

I feel dumb, but it looks like I didn't logout after setting up one of my servers at my colocation provider's. Can I boot out a console login by root remotely without rebooting?

 

[Damaged]

Yup. Just log back in, then type tty to see which term you're using, then type who to get a full listing of all users, then ps aux to find the pid for the other session, the kill that pid.

 

[Zach]

Oh duh, yeah I've done that kicking failed telnet logins... thanks!

 

[Damaged]

No problem. Yeah, that one escapes me sometimes as well. Probably because I don't have to do it too often.

Hmm, I should probably write a script to do that for me. Then I don't have to remember.

I forget about scripts I write though.. shoot down that idea
