    1) You couldn't do this as devpid.  usermod will not modify the username
    of a user who is currently logged in.


You are right, I could not change.  So what are my options.

    Create a user call junkuser, login as that user,
    sudo su - from that, and run the commands to convert devpid to devuser
    sudor remove junk user, is that right ?

    2) This turns devpid INTO devuser, rather than creating a new account
    for devuser to give the user a fresh start.

    If I wanted to create  a fresh user itself then how would I do that
