Ubuntu – Logging out other users from the command line

command lineusers

Sometimes when there are too many users logged in it can cause my computer to become very slow and laggy due to low amount of available RAM. I would like to be able to quickly log out the other users from the command line instead of manually switching into each user and logging them out.

Is this possible?

who -u

that give you the PID

Then you can kill the user session.

kill "pid"

Each terminal or SSH login adds another entry to the users list. So if you are 'user' you probably have another four terminals opened and/or SSH sessions.

Use w

From w man page:

Show who is logged on and what they are doing.

Output example:

$ w
09:15:10 up 43 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.74, 0.38, 0.24

USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
