Thanks Perderabo,

What you suggested works great. But I did not fully explain myself. I have a guest account in which guest can use to log on to the server. But some guest do not log off thus the problem. I just want to kill only the select login in.

Here is a print out of who -uH

NAME LINE TIME IDLE PID COMMENTS
guest pts/5 Jan 9 08:11 2:48 10842 (cic2)
guest pts/6 Jan 9 10:44 0:02 11159 (cic4)
guest pts/7 Jan 9 08:56 0:35 11039 (cic65)

As per you suggestion I would use kill -9 -1 10842

But this will kill all users that are login. But I don't want to kill all login. Just guest at pts/5 from machine "cic2". I have looked at the man pages for kill but it does seem to talk about the addtional "-1" after kill -9. Thanks again
