p4 logout

Log out of Helix Server by removing or invalidating a ticket.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] logout [-a] [username]

Description

Log a user out of Helix Server by removing a ticket on the user’s workstation, or by invalidating the ticket on the service.

If you use p4 logout -a, the ticket remains in the ticket file, but is invalidated on the service: all users of the ticket are logged out simultaneously. You can also remove a single user’s ticket with the -a username option.

Options

-a	Log out all users of the ticket by invalidating the ticket on the service. If a username is specified, that user is logged out. You must have super user access to be able to log out a user other than yourself.
g-opts	See Global options.

• Tickets are stored in the file specified by the P4TICKETS environment variable. If this variable is not set, tickets are stored in %USERPROFILE%\p4tickets.txt on Windows, and in $HOME/.p4tickets on other operating systems.
• In replicated environments, logging out of the master server with p4 logout -a also logs you out of any replica servers.

Examples

p4 logout -a	Log out of Helix Server by removing the local session ticket and instructing the Perforce service to invalidate the ticket on all other workstations from which they were logged in.
