Thanks for the tip nerowolfe.
I also miss an easy way to logout other users. My son and daughter sometimes leave Safari, Messenger etc open in their accounts so they unnecessary consume the CPU so that the fans may even turn on although my active account is idling.
Rebooting the system does the trick but it takes time and then I have to login and open my applications.
So I miss the "clean logout of other users with no rebooting" - option.
So does shutdown -r force other users besides me to logout?
As an administrator you should be able to log into the other accounts and log them off manually. That's probably the best way.
