How to kill all sessions

[force4ormore]

I developed a PHP/MySQL dynamic application. It's on a Linux box running
Apache. Periodically I need to take the application down while I import data
sets. I generally do this off hours and put a redirect on the login page.
However, there may be people logged in at that time. My question is, what
would be the best way to kick people off? Stop MySQL? Run some kind of kill
session command? Thanks, Tim

I guess the first step would be to edit your htdocs for errors so that you
have a maintennace page instead of the clasic error message.

To kill the sessions are done with the session_destroy() function:

Forgive me (I'm new to coding and php is my first sequential language), are you
suggesting that I build an administrators page (that only someone with Admin
rights can access) to run a script like in the link you submitted? Or do I
somehow run/call the script through a command line? Thanks, Tim
