How to logout from the login session through a script ?

[Nisar Ahmad]

Hi There

We are running some login session on client sides to execute autamated scripts. I wander how could we can logout from the sessions through the scripts rather than typing exit.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The easiest way would be to run the script through nohup. That way you could login, start the script and log out and check later.

# nohup /usr/local/bin/myscript &

If the purpose is to start a script and not get back to the shell when finished you can exec it.

$ cat xx
echo "This script will be exec'ed"
echo BYE
$ exec xx
Connection to host lost.

Hi

If it is only a script then put your script as the login program like this
name:passwd:416:40:Details:home:/tmp/yoyo

and declare your shell in the script like this

Program /tmp/yoyo

#!/bin/ksh
read a
if [ "$a" = "y" ]
then
echo ok
fi
ps -ef
exit
