5.1.18 Disconnecting Users

Follow the steps below to disconnect connected users. Windows 95 and NT clients usually attempt to re-establish broken connections, so the disconnection may not last. To prevent this from happening, set the file services to reject client connection requests (see "5.1.9 Rejecting Services").

1. Follow one of these sets of links:

   • LM-NT-OS/2 Realm->LM-NT-OS/2 Connected Users ->Disconnect Users

   • LM-NT-OS/2 Realm->Manage File Service->[select a service] ->Administer->Disconnect Users

     The Disconnect Users screen appears:

     

2. Select or enter values for the following attributes, as needed:

   • Name of users -- The users to disconnect.

   • Minutes before disconnection -- The time, in minutes, before you want to disconnect the users.

   • Reason for disconnection -- A brief message to the users to disconnect. Users must have message reception enabled, by a program such as Winpopup, to see this message.

3. Click Submit.

   The Disconnect Users screen reappears, this time containing the statement "Command Successful".

4. Click OK.

   To disconnect a user from the UNIX command line, use the tnkill command.
