 Unix Tip #4319- January  7, 2025
 
KILLING MORE USERS  
  
*** SORRY ABOUT THE PEVIOUS NULL TIP IF YOU RECEIVED IT****  
  
To kill all processes of a particular user from root  
at unix prompt type:  
  
# kill -9 `ps -fu username |awk '{ print $2 }'|grep -v PID`  
  
We can also use the username as an argument and pass it from  
command line, if this command is put as a script.
