How about: fuser -k /dev/pts/12
Will kill all processes on that tty. You can also kill all processes owned by that user with something like: ps -ef | awk '$1 == "username" { print $2 }' | xargs kill -9 -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Reuben D.

I think it's an artifact because the user was using vncviewer, and then when I killed the vncserver, the login is still there. I want to delete the user (using userdel) from my system but I can't because it says the user is login. How do I log him out from that session? Of course, I have a root access. Thanks.
