My setup consists of standard user accounts per family member and one admin account in osx mavericks on an imac. As new to OS X I wasn't sure whether to go with one account for all or mutiple accounts - I have gone down the route of the latter.

I recently had to restart the iMac due to Macericks software update. This proved to be cumbersome as other users were still logged in at the time - OS X flagged this and said their work would be unsaved if I continued with a force quit. I didn't really want to force quit other users out however getting everyone to log out is equally as frustrating.

I've since tried setting up automatic logout - seems to be a system wide setting - this seemed like the option to go with as says it'll save wimdows and work till user logs back in - however I don't think I've had much success with this as users still appear to be logged in.

I was wondering how people manage this kind of setup when system requires restart etc?
