Hey Richard, thanks for the advice. Must confess serious newbie status however and am very chary of messing stuff up. How would I find the pid exactly? Say the user acc was called jeff. Should I 1. shell in under my own acc 2. then su to jeff? or just run ps aux? Have done so, and ps aux seems only to give status up until Apr 20, 3 days before session started, and for recent processes today. Not even sure of what to look for exactly. In other words the command "last" shows the user jeff still logged in, but ps aux gives no processes for jeff. Any way out of this? Thanks, Pad.
