I opened a VNC server and my VNC session is suddenly dead. I have lot of xterms open. When I ssh to the machine. and type
usersI see a bunch of users – my user accounts, like:
userA UserA UserA UserA UserA UserA UserAI know I can use
pkill -u usersnameSince I can only log in as
userA, every time I runpkill-u UserA, it will just kill my current session. but other userAs are still thereWhat can I do?
