Monitoring loggin

[Bernd Dittmar]

Hello,
i need a script for monitoring loggin accounts like this:

if used 'ps -ef | grep $LOGNAME | grep ba6.1 | wc -l' -ge 2
then
echo "Youre still logged in, please use this session"
sleep 5
exec logout 2> /dev/null
else
echo "I am starting application"
sleep 2
exec ba6.1
fi

But the obove script does not work, it allways uses the else.
But, if the user is logged in (the "ps...." is greater/equal 2), the exec logout must be executed.

Is there any idea ?

change your "if" to this:

if test "`ps -ef | grep $LOGNAME | grep xterma |wc -l`" -ge 2

Sorry, replace xterma with your application name.

Hi,

hey, another BAAN user !

To prevent for multiple BAAN-Login-session you could use this:

if ps -fu$LOGNAME | grep ba6.1 | grep -vq grep
then
echo "Youre still logged in, please use this session"
sleep 5
exec logout 2> /dev/null
else
echo "I am starting application"
sleep 2
exec ba6.1
fi
