We have several hundred users utilizing a telnet program to access a UNIX based server.  Most users are not using the proper procedure for exiting the app, leaving hung resources in the system.  I would like to disable the x button from the title bar so this would not be an issue. Thanks in advance.
 
Well, worse comes to worst, find a different telnet program or find someone to write one for you. Or tell everybody how to properly exit telnet, and hope they listen.<br><br>And you need to log out of the current connection before closing telnet? I wish I knew that... That doesn't make things really easy, does it. That's not fun.. but thanks for letting me know. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

Can you not set something up on the unix side to clean up the hung resources after the user's connection is closed. <br>Another thing, is the loggout procedure complicated to type? If it is then could you make a script for them so that when they type &quot;bye&quot; or something like that it logs them out properly?<br><br>that's just my two cents...<br><br> <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
