how to block a user temporarily?
hi to all

i'm a newbie on aix.

how would i block temporarily a few users in accessing our aix server so that other users may not be affected by th cpu usage...because if all of them accessing our server the CPU utilization goes high...


thanks

winky

Not sure about AIX but try:

echo "System busy... Please try again later." > /etc/nologin
