✨ ADDRCONSOLE(8) ✨

okay bestie, so before we even start — the header on this page says ADDRCONSOLE(8), but the command it actually spills all the tea about is delrconsole. yes the name is giving mismatched energy, we're moving past it, it's fine, the content ate regardless 💅

💖 NAME 💖

delrconsole — Delete a remote console user

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

delrconsole

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no little garnish. she just runs. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the delrconsole command. like, briefly briefly. short and sweet, we love her for it.

delrconsole removes a remote console user. and no, she does not do it halfway, she does the whole entire thing:

  • it kills any remote console instance running for the user 💀
  • deletes the configuration and the logs for the user 🗑️
  • and then finally removes the user account itself 👑

It runs as an interactive script and requests a username. so it's gonna ask you who, bestie — have the answer ready, don't be caught out here. ✨

ngl, this is a destructive little icon. account gone, config gone, logs gone. be sure before you answer that prompt. 🫶
