  13. I've got a system administration type problem here:
  14.  
  15. We are working with approx 24 workstations hanging off of each filesever
  16. There are additional servers which contain the executables for some
  17. inhouse tools which are mounted to the user's fileservers.  (whew!)
  18.  
  19. I need to unmount a disk which is currently mounted.  Sounds easy huh?  The
  20. problem is that there is a user who is cd'd into the directory which I need
  21. to umount or is running an executable out of this directory.
  22.  
  23. Question:
  24.  
  25. How do I either
  26. a) find out who the user and ask them to quit out of the tool and cd out of
  27.    the directory.
  28. b) boot the user out
  29.  
  30. .... without rebooting the fileserver.
