Just the facts...
On a Macintosh I ran UW, the terminal emulation part of "UW, A
Multiple-Window Terminal Emulator for Use with 4.nBSD 'UNIX'".
On VAX BSD4.3 I ran UW and I created a couple of pseudo-terminals.
I quit most of the pseudo-terminals using 'exit' or the Mac menu
command to kill the window.
For a change of pace, on one of the pseudo-terminals
I exec'ed login and latter logged out.
Result. The account 'news' is still logged in 5 days latter, but,
there are zero (0) processes associated with the login.
I cannot kill any processes to terminate the login, so...
How do I get rid of the appearance that 'news' is still logged in?
Here is the output of 'w':
8:19am up 6 days, 17:47, 9 users, load average: 0.18, 0.16, 0.22

news ttyqe Wed10am 5days -
The ps command shows no (0) processes associated with the news
logged in on ttyqe.
Thanks for the help.
