Joseph, we've recently overcame this problem through the provision of some scripts which create a semaphore file named <USERNAME> in a directory named 'logins' for database sessions and additional scripts which lock a user out based on login sessions. We control these through the users .bash_profile on the server.
The initlal login script for databases does the following: if [ -r logins/$LOGNAME ] then echo "You have already logged into the system" sleep 2 exit fi # Create lock file touch logins/$LOGNAME If we wish to lock out a user system wide and restrict him/her to one session on the machine we do the following in the users bash_profile: number=`who | grep $LOGNAME | wc -l` if [ $number != "1" ] then Hope this Helps.
