Hello,

I've been perusing the docs looking for a remote hangup command, but
I have not seen one.

I logged in this morning and found a user stuck in a door (Melee)
over night.  When he tries to log in again, the bbs gives an error
because he is already logged in.  For the time being, I've flagged
him for multiple node login.

All the NODE commands run after the user logs off.  I also tried
removing all time available for the user, but that did not do
anything.

Perhaps the system could kill door processes also, similar to the
maintenance issue I posted a few days ago:

Maybe some kind of do or die timer for externals?

Alternatively, I will have a look at forwarding the VPN ports through my
router so I can VPN to the machine and bring about the destruction of
unruly processes that way.


Thanks,
