Better way on HP-UX, with an HP 9000:
        ...
 	Exit from X:       !"kfork xterm uwm xclock xload xps xdvi xrload X"
 	}

This will NOT work on any other operating system.

Which brings us to a more important point:  There should be a program which
kills all clients to a particular server, revoking all host permissions, and
reclaiming all resources.

This can be done by killing the server and restarting it, but some client 
programs on other machines seem to continue running after this exercise.
At least this is true with our systems (clients on a sun, server on an
HP 9000).

In any event, KILLING the server seems awfully drastic.  Does anyone have a
program to do this?
