one way is to type who (or just w) and look at what pts or pty he's connecting from, and kill the first (parent) process with that pts/pty, slay is easier, it should work beautifully, see if there are some options to slay equalling kill -9, i think there should be

as You can see there is no connecting place...

in a matter of fact there is the same user (in fact me - owner of the server)
killing pts0 gives nothing, killing user (skill -KILL -9 -u krystian without effect)

I don't wanna restart my server to correct this problem...

Hi,
try with ps aux | grep krystian and kill his PID

you don't kill pts/0 you kill the first process (ie bash or sshd or something) that's listed as being connected to pts/0, or whichever pts or pty the user is using
