HOWTO: killing a TTY session using the command line
Recently one of my PuTTY sessions froze, and I decided to try and kill it using the command line, instead of simply closing the window.
This is the complete procedure:
I opened another PuTTY session
using the who command I found the name of the frozen TTY
myuser@ubuntu:~$ w
14:21:07 up 119 days, 12 min, 2 users, load average: 0.06, 0.05, 0.05
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
user1 pts/0 192.168.x.x 13:02 1:36 1.81s 0.10s sshd: user1 [priv]
user1 pts/2 192.168.x.x 14:21 0.00s 0.46s 0.00s w
myuser@ubuntu:~$
using ps and grep i found its PID
ps -u root | grep -i pts/0
finally, I killed the blocked session:
kill -9
