how to kill the tty in unix

Question

This is the result of the finger command (Today(Monday) when I (Vidya) logged in)

sekic1083 [6:14am] [/home/vidya] -> finger
Name        Tty          


        

Answer 1

You can run:

ps -ft pts/6 -t pts/9 -t pts/10

This would produce an output similar to:

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
Vidya      772  2701  0 15:26 pts/6    00:00:00 bash
Vidya      773  2701  0 16:26 pts/9    00:00:00 bash
Vidya      774  2701  0 17:26 pts/10   00:00:00 bash

Grab the PID from the result.

Use the PIDs to kill the processes:

kill    ...

For the above example:

kill 772 773 774

If the process doesn't gracefully terminate, just as a last option you can forcefully kill by sending a SIGKILL

kill -9
