Be aware that resetting a user's session without warning can result in loss of data on the session.
Reset a session only when it malfunctions or appears to have stopped responding.
If you reset a listener session, all sessions that use the connection are reset.
You can also use the reset session command to reset a session.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
