Unix Category 2, Topic 26 Message 2 Thu Apr 07, 1994 ANDY [Andy] at 17:28 EDT You can do this: ps -ef | grep username System V / SCO / HP machines or ps -augxwww | grep username BSD / Sun / Iris / etc machines That will show you what programs they are running. That may help you make a first cut at who you can kill or not. It won't help you see their screen though... Andy ------------
