echo "Log off now or risk data loss!" | wall
echo "You cannot login now. Try again later!" >/etc/nologin
sleep 300 # 5 minutes
echo "You will now be thrown out!" | wall
init S

note: The init S should work on all modern unix systems with sysV style
init. It turns the system into single-user mode, killing all login processes
and shutting down networking.

If you just want to kill every interactive user process, you would have
to parse the output of ps, looking for processes owned by users and attached
to a tty. A good thing is to first send them the HUP signal, wait a few
seconds, then send the TERM signal, and after another short time, the KILL
signal.

See manpages: ps kill init wall nologin and sed, awk, grep and cut
