Does anyone have a sql script that will kill all of the user (non-Oracle processes) sessions on a database that can be run prior to RMAN script for DB Backup.

why do you want to kill all the user sessions?

through sqlplus:
SQL> @kill_users
where kill_users.sql looks something like this:

set heading off
set feedback off
spool kill.sql
SELECT 'ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ''' || sid || ',' || 'serial#'';'
FROM v$session
WHERE username is not null -- you dont want to kill the background processes
AND username <> user; -- you dont want to kill your session
spool off
set echo on
@kill.sql
set heading on
set feedback on
