Logout after executing script 1

[mlazlo]

I am attempting to execute a script, ./startrf.sh from the user's .profile.
What I need is to have the session execute and logout regardless of exit status. I have attempted to put this statement:
trap 'logout' 0 1 2 3 15
in both the .profile and ./startrf.sh
In either case this only works if the script exits cleanly. If they hit ^C then it jumps out of script and .profile without executing the trap and brings them to a command line.
I need this session to close.
Any ideas on how to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.

YOu can try using the "exec" command in .profile to call your script. The line following the exec command should be "exit

You can do something like this:

trap 'logout; exit' 0 1 2 3 15

Thanks 'TheKidd' exec worked like a charm!

The exec works for telnet connections but not ssh. What is the solution for ssh.

Sorry...don't know the answer to that one.

Actually the exec command seems to work fine for me when I ssh into the server.

With ssh, changing 'logoff' to 'exit' in the code ending the script works with either:
exec scriptname
or
scriptname; exit
in the .profile

Thanks.
