How to kickout a user/kick a user in Linux
Source: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1033
In my case, I use putty to login to my local linux machine but suddenly I got hung up in putty. I login again to linux console and do kick out user (myself!!)
The key point is, use "ps -aux | grep ssh" to get the user who login as SSH, if a user is not login using SSH, go grep the user name. Then find the Process ID(PID) of that particular user. Finally, issue "kill -9". So my steps will be:
1. ps -aux | grep ssh
2. kill -9
Finally, restart putty session and login again.
