Boot other users?

I'm not sure to understand your question, but if you want to connect from an other computer via a shell (command-line) then check your Telnet or (better) SSH servers are running and then type from the other computer 'telnet yourIP' or 'ssh yourIP' replacing by the name/IP of your computer on the network.

NB: this works only if the second computer is a *nix computer with Telnet or OpenSSH clients installed.
If the second computer is a Windows then download PuTTY and it will be easy to log in. ;)

I hope this helps you,
Pierre.
 
Thanks for the advice but that's not what I mean.

Maybe this is more clear:
Code: 
[gwailo:~]% who
gwailo   console  Oct 31 09:54 
gwailo   ttyp1    Nov  6 10:41 
frank    ttyp2    Nov  5 01:05
I want to kick off frank on terminal 2...
 
With your example just try that :

[gwailo:~]% who
gwailo console Oct 31 09:54
gwailo ttyp1 Nov 6 10:41
frank ttyp2 Nov 5 01:05 <------- franck uses ttyp2 !!

Now do :

[gwailo:~]% ps -xu
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
gwailo 409 3.4 2.5 101308 6452 p1 S 5:20PM 0:01.17 -tcsh
gwailo 187 2.3 7.4 140092 19424 ?? Ss 5:16PM 0:15.39 /System/Lib
frank 513 2.3 7.4 140092 19424 p2 Ss 5:16PM 0:15.39 -tcsh
(...)

look for the PID of frank's session (search for the TT value where you get p2, or find 'frank' as user value),
and then try to do :

[gwailo:~]% kill -9 513

I tryed it on my computer and it worked. But well ... it's maybe so hard (it's a kill -9 !!) for a think like that.

This could help, but maybe you will need a softer method. ;)

Have fun,
pierre
