For example, if a person as been logged in for more than 12 hours I want to kill that process. How do I use the kill command to do that?
Depending on what shell you are on, there is another "scriptless" fashion to get the job done, just set the TMOUT environment variable on the "target's login profile" or just try it on a ksh prompt
Code:
shell$ export TMOUT=5  # will logout after 5mn
