If I want to log a user out from a kde session after I have connected to

/usr/bin/startkde3' be a way to do that?
I don't know much about being graceful... :-)
But there's several options available to you, as far as I see it.
First, and the most graceful way I can think of:
-> kdeinit_shutdown.
First of all, you need to be root to do this.
1) Find out which terminal a user is running on:
# who
user1 :0 2008-11-24 10:19
user2 pts/1 2008-11-24 10:21
etc.
2) Become the user you want to log off
# su - user1
3) Export the DISPLAY variable to match that user's display:
# erport DISPLAY=:0 (don' forget the colon)
4) Kill the session:
# kdeinit_shutdown.
And that takes care of that session. :-)
Second and less graceful:
-> The skill command (be root)
Kill and logout user user1:
# skill -KILL -u user1
And that really takes care of that session.
Okay, so I am not one for grace, but it gets the job done. Plus, if I need to
interrupt a user's session like that, you can bet it's for a reason ;-)
HTH,
Joop
