The notion that you can script kicking users out of a database driven app forcefully presumes that doing so leaves the database and any in-flight transactions in a consistent state, that any temporary files or interim data or weird process-managed locks get cleaned up or are ignored, etc.

It's seldom as easy as a kill -9 (or equivalent) as is being suggested late in this thread, which is quite possibly why people are hesitant to try and script this in the first place.
