ksh equivalent

[Joe Fern]

G'day all,

Is there an equivalent of "logout" in ksh?

I'm trying to log users off during the profile loading from a if statement if possible.

Cheers,

Joe

logout should work. Or you could just use 'exit'.

[Joe Fern]

Must say also posix shell.. if possible.

Cheers all.

Have you tried checking the man pages?

# man ksh

# man sh-posix

logout and exit work for all the shells I am familiar with??

if [ -z $HOME ]
then
logout
fi


should work fine in ksh

There is no logout command in a real shell. Even the scummy C shell says not to use it since it "may not be supported in future releases".

As Patrick says, you must use "exit".

Hey guys,

Thanks for the responses, didn't see ya post Patrick when I post my last msg.. cheers tho, exit is the only choice as I worked out logout will not work for us.

Thanks all :)

Rgds,
