Thee only way that /usr/OV/bin/nv6000_smit KILLEUIS could be dangerous to
a read-write map would if the user were in the middle of a cut-and-paste
operation. If he had done the cut successfully and not completed the
paste, he'd lose the cut buffer and what he cut would have to be
re-discovered. This is a very remote possibility. As this command is how
the GUI is killed through SMIT, and has been for years, I doubt you have
much to worry about .
You can force users off through the security GUI but you can't do that from
a command line, so far as I know. Since what
is wanted is a script for a cron job, /usr/OV/bin/nv6000_smit KILLEUIS, is
the only way I know of.

nv6000_smit KILLEUIS stops user sessions by just
killing the ovw processes. I have been under the impression
that, for read-write maps at least, this is not a completely clean
way of stopping EUIs.
I've been further under the impression (although I don't
have much to go on here) that a cleaner way of shutting down
is to forceably log off netview users through the security
GUI. (With security enabled, obviously.) Can anyone at IBM/Tivoli
comment on these superstitions?
