How to log somebody else off from a Linux desktop   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1338 of 1439 |
Anybody who has a Linux computer that is used by other members of the family can
relate to this problem: How do you log off another user when they're not around?
A short how-to article here at DesktopLinux.com describes two options -- the
"mean way," and the "nice way."

"[The mean way] guarantees your kids will complain to you. Well, OK, any method
guarantees that," Steven J. Rosen writes. "But this method is especially mean
because there's no chance to save the other user's work first."

The "nice" way might be the better way to go, and could even earn a "Thanks,
Dad" or "Thanks, Mom" from the young one.

Rosen offers complete details on how to log somebody else off gracefully from a
Linux desktop machine. Read his full story:
