Hello Chris,
I wrote this little shell script to display the PIDs of any
processes which are running on a different TTY.
It was written on a Linux box, not a FBSD one, so make sure that
your 'who am i' command shows the TTY in the 2nd field, and that
your 'ps -x' shows the PID in field 1.
Save this script to a file like "idlepids.sh" and
then do 'chmod 755 idlepids.sh'
Then you can try
kill -HUP `idlepids.sh`
and if that doesn't work, try another kill signal,
saving -9 to a last resort.
Use at your own risk, of course.
#!/bin/sh
# Put your $PATH declaration here
TTY=`who am i|awk '{print $2}'`
# the next line should be all one line, no wrapping
PIDS=`ps -x | egrep -v "${TTY}| STAT " | awk '{print $1}' |tr -s '\012' ' '`
# a more robust and error-proof script might do something
# here if "$PIDS" = "" but I trust the user to know what s/he is doing
echo "${PIDS}"
#
exit 0
# That is the end of the script. HTH.
