[svlug] How do you log users off?

[George Bonser]

There are several ways to log them out, one way is to kill their top level
shell. Run idled if you want them booted after some period of inactivity
but this can be a pain ... logged me out in the middle of a large
build once. Also, who is not really accurate, I find w to be better.

You might also look at the slay program.
