sorting data from who by IP

Hello. I have an RS/6000 running AIX 4 and I need to be able to see if there are any users that are logged on more than once from the same terminal so I can kick them off to make room for other terminals. 64 connections is the limit. Currently I am doing this:

who | more
and then manually looking for duplicate IP's and then doing
ps -t pts/whatever or tty
to find the PID then killing the PID. Is there an easier and faster way of doing this? Thanks

Instead of manually looking for duplicate IDs you can pipe the output to sort for getting unique records...

Code:
who | sort -uk6.2,6

Thanks - but that is not showing me duplicates, instead it looks like there are no duplicates. I just tested by opening up two more connections from my machine and ran that command.

By removing the U, so it is just
who | sort -k6.2,6

it works. Thanks again

Question Can you show a sample command and output?

It can sometimes be difficult to "imagine" what your output looks like. Thus, examples are always a good way to convey the requirments.

Does this code:
Code:
who | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f1,6 | sort | uniq -c

provide you with
count username ip_address?
If so, it may be the start of your process.

(un)fortunately, I have killed all the duplicate sessions, so none are showing up in my examples. To get really lazy, is there a way to ONLY show the duplicate IPs?

Yes, who | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f1,6 | sort | uniq -c
provides me with count, user, IP. But I do need to be able to see the PTS number so I know what PID to kill.
