Disconnect Users

The IRC Kill command is used to close a client-server connection and is issued from a chat client. Only a chat administrator or chat sysop can issue a Kill command.

A channel operator can issue the IRC Kick command from a chat client to forcibly remove a user from a channel.

To issue the Kill command:

1. Log on to the server as a chat administrator or chat sysop using a chat client.
2. Type the  Kill nickname channelname comment  command.

3. /kill jr3 
   

   Note   In many chat clients, you must precede IRC commands with a forward slash.

To Kick a user from a registered or auto-start channel:

1. Start System Manager
   On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. Navigate to the Channels folder for the chat community where you want to forcibly remove a user.
