You want to logoff the user 'john'.
You must kill the process of his shell. Every user logs into some kind of shell. In the below example john's shell is seen as '-ksh'. That is the process you need to kill.
We see the process id, or PID, is 323806. We pass that number to the 'kill' command with a signal of '-9' or TERMINATE.
And he should be gone. Also consider the fact that whatever they are working on when you do this is lost if they have not saved their work.

I have a script giving option to allow user who run the script log out the server.

logger
LOGGER(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOGGER(1)NAME
logger -- make entries in the system log
SYNOPSIS
logger [-is] [-d SD] [-f file] [-m msgid] [-p pri] [-t tag] [message ...]
DESCRIPTION
logger provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module.
Options:
-d sd Log this in the structured data (SD) field. (sd has to be passed as one argument and will require careful quoting when used from
the shell.)
-f file Log the specified file.
-i Log the process id of the logger process with each line.
-m msgid The MSGID used for the message.
-p pri Enter the message with the specified priority. The priority may be specified numerically or as a ``facility.level'' pair. For
example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level in the local3 facility. The default is ``user.notice''.
-s Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.
-t tag Mark every line in the log with the specified tag.
message Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is logged.
EXIT STATUS
The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
logger System rebooted
logger -p local0.notice -t HOSTIDM -f /dev/idmc
SEE ALSO syslog(3), syslogd(8)STANDARDS
The logger utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
