Removing a user session with the sdemon command immediately disconnects the user. If the session is terminated before the user issues a COMMIT on a large transaction (the unit of work has not been saved in the database), all of the user's changes are lost. Removing a user session should be done as a last resort, such as when a user session is no longer responding to the application or when a user abnormally aborts an operation while processing a request and the process has hung.
The tasks you perform to remove ArcSDE sessions are the same on both Windows and UNIX. To terminate ArcSDE user processes, list all connected ArcSDE users with sdemon, locate the process identifier, use the sdemon command with the kill option to remove the process or processes, and check to see that the correct user processes were removed by listing the connected users again.
For details on how to use the sdemon administration command, consult the Administration Command Reference.
