UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

just like what the subject said
but the ip is different
example
if now my IP is 192.168.0.50 and my name is seed
if i wanna terminate 192.168.0.55 with the same nick of mine, seed

can i do that ?? and what is the command ??

your post really dosnt make much sense. im going to have to assume that you mean terminating the proccess of a remote login session. ie, someone is logged into machine A from machine B, you want to kick them off of machine A. well it depends on how they are logged in. usually you can just kill their shell.

to do this you want to know the PID of the proccess you want to kill. assume the user is seed, so type the command "ps aux"
look for output like:

seed 2230 0.0 0.1 2512 656 pts/1 S 14:51 0:00 bash


aside from all the other information there, the main thing you are looking for is the user who is running the process, thats the first column, the PID which is the second column, then the last column which tells you what the process is.

so as root, or the user seed issue the command:

kill -9 2230

then that process will be killed.

You need to use the kill command to terminate a process.

You can use lsof to determine the process id for network connections and TCP/IP sessions.

lsof is an advanced Unix command that is very powerful. You can find more by searching Google or these forums.
