you can also MASTER OFF a user session as an Administrator.
We run through a series of steps to try and prevent corruption of the databases...
1. Use TANDEM to take control of the session, then log the user off (as if it was them logging off...)
2. Use MASTER OFF to try try and get the user off
3. We are running on a Unix platform, so the last option is to kill the PID as an administrator
first, ps -ef | grep pidno
this shows details of anythng related to the PID
then try kill -signal PID
we try multiple times with differing signal codes trying elimate sessions the "nicest" way possible...
signal code sequence..:
15, 13, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
with the ps -ef check after each kill command to see if the session has gone

Hi,
you can use
Logoff The LOGOFF utility can be used to logoff another process. Root privileges are required to logoff another process logged on with a different user id.

Subject: Signing off Users When they forget to Logout
Hi ,
I am just wondering if is it possible to sign off users who usually forget to sign off before leaving for the day. At my work , we usually sign off these users one by one using the command SIGN.OTHER the enter their username to sign them off.
What I am interested is if we can bulk sign them off.
Please advise.
Thanks.
