Do they need to run your script from the shell at all? Perhaps you could simply set up their account so your script is the startup program. Then when they log in, they go straight into your script. When your script ends, they are logged out. Short of doing that, I don't see how you can force them to log out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
