force user to logout [solved]

[nielchiano]

Hi,

Easy question: I have root privileges via an SSH session. one of the users left his terminal session open on the console. How can I force that session to log out?

I'd like to have it LOG OUT instead of getting killed, so I can check out the .bash_history to see if someone tried to do nasty stuff...

is this possible, if so, how?

ok, I found it out myself. I'll post the answer here for others:

ps aux | grep "username"

identify the PID of the bash running; then send it the HUP signal
