Controlling the use of hpterm on the workstation

[Henry Chua]

Hi Guys,

Do you know how can I control the use of hpterm on my workstation? As in whenever a hpterm is invoked the system will prompt the login and password before allowing access?

Best regards
Henry

You could create a wrapper script but the most foolproof method would be to sudo the command.

Hi


Why not lock your workstation when you are not there


Otherwise

alias hpterm="hpterm -e telnet $(hostname)"

or

move hpterm realhpterm

make hpterm wrapper as

remsh $(hostname) -n hpterm -display $DISPLAY -e telnet


or put a piece in .profile to limit number by counting logins

let xd=`who -u|grep -v console|grep -v old|grep -c $LOGNAME`
if [ "$xd" -ge "8" ]
then
who -u
echo 8 logins is a maximum exiting.
sleep 10
exit 0
fi
