You want the last action of the script being run by the user on the console to log out the user. In this case make the last command of the shell script kill -HUP `pgrep -s 0 -o` This kills the login shell. 2. The user neglects to log out and you as root wish to force a logoff without having to go to the console. The console session will have a parent process that shows as "login -- <username>" in a ps -ef output. Kill that process. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
