Logout user on 'EXIT'

[markuscj]

Hi scripters

I am fairly new to scripting and have this question:

I am writing a korn shell script in AIX which is a simple menu for a specific user, when this user logs in the menu will run, now the last option on the menu is 'EXIT', when this is selected I want the user to be logged out of the system. I don't want this user to be able to get to the command prompt, so I want to disable the use of CTRL+C and CTRL+D as well.

I'm sure this is simple for you experienced scripters!

TIA

Hi

If you source the script instead of running it, its [tt]exit[/tt] will close the shell.

See [tt]trap[/tt] in you shell's man page for catching signals.

Also you could add the "logout" command at the end of the script.

... if using [tt]bash[/tt] and is executed in a login shell ( so the script is sourced, not run ).

That was actually the first thing I tried, but it didn't work as I was testing it by switching user from root to the user I wanted logged out - obviously logging in directly as this user and then exiting does work

Was just having my stupid head on for a little while there!

Thanks for your help all.
