Security Restrictions
You can always log off from the session where you are currently logged on. You must have logoff access permission to log off other sessions.

LOGOFF -- Additional Notes
It is recommended that you terminate your session by switching to each program and ending the program normally. This allows each program to terminate without losing any data.

If no ID or name for the session is specified, logoff terminates the current session. If you specify the name of the session, it must identify an active session.

LOGOFF -- Examples
To terminate the current session, type:

logoff

To terminate session 12, type:

logoff 12

To terminate session TERM04 on server WF12, type:

logoff TERM04 /server:WF12
