[auton-users] Log out of workstations before leaving for break

[Michael J. Baysek]

Hi Lab.  This message goes mainly for the full-time staff and faculty at 
the lab who have Linux Desktops.

*Be sure to log out of the desktop session on your computer before 
leaving for break. 

*If you don't log out you may lose data, as your home directory will be 
moved to another server.  Even your desktop settings could go corrupt.

If you already left and want to kill your processes and login session 
"somewhat nicely" you can do so by logging into your box over ssh and 
running the script at 
/mnt/BigPapa/home/public/system-upgrade-2009/kill_allmyprocs.sh .  You 
could still lose unsaved data in your applications, but it's better than 
me pulling the file system out from under your running processes and 
desktop environments.

This script can also be run on the lops to kill any VNC desktop 
environments or background jobs.  Be aware, it will run the kill command 
on each job it lists.  You should end the processes another way if 
possible before running this script.

The kill_allmyprocs.sh script never kill jobs for other users or system 
jobs (unless you run it as root), so don't worry about that.
