linux 删除用户 currently logged in,userdel删除用户失败提示：userdel: user * is currently logged in 解决方法...

操作环境

SuSE10/SuSE11

问题现象

执行userdel -rf oracle删除用户失败，提示userdel: user ‘oracle’ is currently logged in

问题分析

NA

问题解决

1、ps -fu oracle查看是否还有进程在使用(也可以使用ps -ef |grep ‘oracle’| grep -v grep)，如果有进程在使用。kill掉相关进程

2 、重新执行userdel -rf oracle，如果失败，则执行步骤3

3、删除 /var/run/utmp文件。cd /var/run; mv utmp utmp_bak;touch utmp

4、重新执行userdel -rf oracle。

知识延伸

为什么删除utmp文件就可以执行删除用户成功？查看如下函数信息

/var/run/utmp database of currently logged-in users

src/userdel.cif(is_logged_in(remove_user))

{

fprintf(stderr,_("%s:account '%s' is currently in use.\n")),program,remove_user);

return E_USER_BUSY;

}

lib/is_logged_in.c/*

Check if the user is logged in.

0:user is not logged in

1:user is logged in

*/

int is_logged_in(const char *user)

{

struct utmp *utp;

setutent();

while((utp = getutent()))

{

if(utp->ut_type == USER_PROCESS && strncmp(utp->ut_user,user,sizeof utp->ut_user)==0)

return 1

}

return 0

}
