Had a look at how we do it. This is on universe thought.
Disable logons (done in our menu system, it logs users off after they logon) Do a port status to find out who is on the system Send messages to the users giving them a countdown to being logged off Do another port status to find out who is still logged on Do Master OFF for those still logged on start evening work . . Finish evening work Enable logons Not as much help as you were looking for, I didn't read the Unidata in the subject line (dooh). But you're on the right track.

We also have a list of users not to logoff, operators and the like. Haven't got the details to hand on how we did it, it's so long ago. Will dig out the details and post them.

I'm having problems when I run a backup (using Arcserver) if users do not disconnect their sessions correctly the backup fails. I'm looking for a way to run a batch file before the backup which does the following: - Prevents future logins - Send a message to all logged in users saying "Session will disconnect in 3 minutes" - Sleep for 1 minute - Send a message to all logged in users saying "Session will disconnect in 2 minutes" - Sleep for 1 minute - Send a message to all logged in users saying "Session will disconnect in 1 minute" - Sleep for 1 minute - Logoff any logged in users Perform backup Then run another batch file which just restores the login function. Has anyone done this or can you give me any clues as to how and which commands to use, particularly the commands to stop logins, logoff all users (preferably in one command) and to allow logins again.
