script to automatically kill telnet sessions

[bxdobs]

I use the attached script to automatically remove all my telnet sessions from an AIX machine

2 issues that I am trying to resolve in UBUNTU

1) Ubuntu won't run this script because kill needs to be run under sudo ... is there any way around this?

2) because system processes are also running under the MyUserName, kill -1 -9, would be a BAD thing to run

doing a ps -ef | grep telnetd shows the PID's of the sessions I want to terminate

telnetd 6754 1094 0 17:03 ? 00:00:00 in.telnetd: Machine.local
telnetd 6757 1094 0 17:03 ? 00:00:00 in.telnetd: Machine.local

looking for a way to automatically kill both of these Machine.local sessions without touching anything else that is running

is there some way to direct an exit to run in each telnet session

-------------------------
UserName=MyUserName
rusure=N

for CurrentUser in `whoami`; do
echo " "
done

if [ "$UserName" = "$CurrentUser" ]
then
read rusure?'Are you sure you want to exit all processes? (y/n)'

if [ "$rusure" = "Y" ] || [ "$rusure" = "y" ]
then
echo Exit in progress from $CurrentUser
sleep 1
nohup kill -9 -1 > /dev/null
fi
else
echo --- You cannot exit the system using this script from $CurrentUser ----

fi

How about...

 pkill telnetd

If any of the telnet processes are run by other users, then you may need to do...

 sudo pkill telnetd

to kill all of the active telnetd sessions.

Thanx Cheesemill

Bash also apparently doesn't like the AIX read syntax either so the final script is now:

-------------------------
#!/bin/sh

UserName=MyUserName
rusure=N

for CurrentUser in `whoami`; do
echo " "
done

if [ "$UserName" = "$CurrentUser" ]
then
read -p 'Are you sure you want to exit all processes? (y/n) ' rusure

if [ "$rusure" = "Y" ] || [ "$rusure" = "y" ]
then
echo Exit in progress from $CurrentUser
sleep 1
nohup sudo pkill telnetd < /home/MyUserName/bin/pk.txt
fi
else
echo --- You cannot exit the system using this script from $CurrentUser ----
fi
