use "ps aux" to find PID

i was thinking to kill the task by "TTY" because one user login may run a lot of command, and i dont want to kill it one by one  ....

anyway i just found a way to do it .... find out the pid of the "shell" and kill it include the child signal :

# ps aux
.....
9286 pts/4    S      0:00 -bash
......

# kill -9 9286


appreciate for your reply ....

All the processes excuting the commands of the user are forked from the shell process.
therefore you can safely sweep out the user through making away with his login shell.
