KICK OFF REMOTELY LOGGED ON USERS

Here's the situation: You're working after-hours, and you discover that some of your offsite users have left their PCs logged on. This can definitely put a dent in your maintenance plans, especially if the work is urgent and needs to be accomplished to resolve a major problem.

How do you kick those users off remotely? You can enter the MONITOR utility and begin to kick them off. But usually by the time you're finished with the last one, the Novell Client has reconnected automatically for the ones you started with.

Here's a different approach to try. At the server console, enter the DISABLE LOGIN command, followed by the CLEAR STATION ALL command. This should do the trick. These commands instruct the server to disallow logins and kick off all connections.

But remember: This will kick you off as well. This method is best used for a situation requiring primarily remote console access, with RCONSOLE or RCONJ being run from another server.
