As other people have said, if you are logged in as the user via SSH then it will close the terminal window too. Thanks, does what it says on the tin!

Yes, BUT: if it's a SSH into the username account on a REMOTE server, it WILL close both SSH session into the user and the local terminal. It might still be useful for some quick fixes (kill all runaway processes, close the term and be done with it) but if you depend on the terminal to stay open, you better run pkill as root (root of the remote server that is). Oh, and since we may be talking about different versions of pkill, I've used the stock one from Ubuntu 10.04 distro. And the shell was bash on both local and remote - it may have something to do with the behavior. Cheers! “Oh, it wont kill YOUR local term if you execute the command as the username you’re pkilling.”

Oh, it wont kill YOUR local term if you execute the command as the username you're pkilling. So that's something good if you're trying to kill a rouge fork bomb or script but not your local session.
