Of course there is, but you may not like the cost.

Assuming you are willing to check the validity of every session on every
page, you can easily compare the Session.Session ID to your list of
disallowed sessions, and call the Session.Abandon () method as needed.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...b92ebbbc31.asp

This assumes also that you wipe the list of banned sessions on an IIS
restart, since you'll want to account for the re-use of old SessionIDs.

SessionID s are not unique :<
So you can't be sure of them.
You can better have them login or create your own unique identifier which
you track in an application variable (as long as you are not in a web farm
this is OK). However, this will cause a lot of performance since each
application variable write causes a temporary lock on the whole website..
Each page, at the top of execution, could check whether it's unique
identifier is in the black-list, if so, it issues session.abandon to itself.

Sure-fire "kill"

There is a setting in INIT.ORA that has the unintended side-effect of making sure the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command has immediate affect. Without this setting, I've seen some instances where the session reports as being KILLED in V$SESSION but is not physically removed until the instance is bounced. Does anyone remember this value offhand?

Kill process based on window name (win32)

by: drodrig | last post by:

Hi. I am trying to close/kill all processes that show visible windows on Windows XP. So far I've created a script that uses win32gui.EnumWindows to iterate through all windows, check for which windows are visible, then send a WM_CLOSE message to the window to request that it closes. Of course, not all apps want to close nicely. At this point I need to use something like TerminateProcess to kill the app, but how do I find the process id...
