| Dec 16, 2013 at 14:20 | comment | added | DrorCohen | can you please explain what $(stat -f %u /dev/console) == $UID is supposed to do? so I can convert it to ubuntu? thanks | |

@DrorCohen I don't think it will, due to the use of stat -f %u /dev/console. It probably should be fairly trivial to fix for Ubuntu (assuming it doesn't work). If you can't get it working though, please create a new question.

For info, the purpose of using sudo, is that kill -9 $pid alone isn't always enough to kill the loginwindow process. I also considered using kill -9 -1 which would normally kill all processes belonging to the user, but according to the man pages, when you run this with sudo, it instead kills all processes on the system.
