[gentoo-user] logout a gnome session with commandline?
Hello. I often remotely login to my other computer using XDMCP (run
gdom, select XDMCP chooser...) but the connection could be broken for
many reasons (connection down, or the host I am using gets down). The
next time I login, it would prompt me something like "you are logined in
from another place, do you still wish to login ", and if I click
'yes', I will see dozens of startup application crash because they
cannot run twice by same user.
Is it possible I logout my previous (connection broken) session by using
commandline? Thus I could ssh gets into the host, run the command, and
re-login.
The local administrator have a straight forward method of
#ps U zhangweiwu | awk {print $1} | xargs kill -TERM
This solves the problem instantly! I just feeling courious if there are
'better' methods. I remember when I was on Windows there is something
like 'session manager' where each logged in session can be manually 'log
out', is there similar thing on gnome?

Hi Zhang,
I don't know for sure if what I'm going to say is true, but I believe
that if you kill the gnome-session process being run by your user, it
will shutdown the Gnome session and all the apps that are child
processes of it. It is a wild guess, but might be worth trying.
Hope this helps you out,
Raphael ;)

That's a good idea. Analogously, in kde all my X apps are children of kdeinit.
Another idea would be to use nx or xvnc. If you kill the nx or xvnc server
then all the clients should die automatically.

I tried to kill gnome-session and is successful... all other processes are still running, some even takes cpu time. I feel it's dangerous if all session applications are children of gnome-session: suppose gnome-session crash, should all other application quit? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
