My advice is to stick to the "simple".
I prefer to use
ps -ef to obtain the Pid of the login question.
Then, as the others suggested, use kill on the PID.
However, with ps -aef, you can tell what that user is doing and what
PID is attached to the task. Incidentally, if you "kill" the lowest PID#
for the user, that SHOULD kill all the tasks the user started (unless they
were using nohup).
Enjoy.
