ksh equivalent

Joe Fern — Sun, 20 May 2007 22:13:59 GMT

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'.

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".
