Disconnecting without root

How can I disconnect as user as someone other than root? I want to limit who I give the super user password, but there are instances where a user will get hung and no one is available that has su access. I suppose that I can create a user that will own the database and start i tup for me, but that is still making that user powerful and I do not want the user killing the session too much power.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

It is also possible to create an account for Progress admin and use that to start and stop the database, do backups, etc., i.e., all powerful when it comes to Progress without being all powerful with anything else. It has been a long time since I did this, but as I recall it is simply a matter of chown on the stuff in $DLC to the designated user, might only be the stuff in $DLC/bin.
