Hi,
I've been researching ways to kill all processes of one user (while being
root, of course) and I couldn't find _one_ program doing it without race
conditions.
man fuser
Hint:
Go for the tty to get rid of the dude...
It is similar to "skill" (loops through /proc) and has the same race
condition. Therefore, it is _unreliable_.
It seems from your URL you have created an app that does solve
your problem, I have never run into.
You could just incorporate it into 'kill' and send the maintainer
a patch.
Good luck
