On our windows Universe system we used to have a phantom process that ran under with administrative rights. This used to check a file every 15 seconds for instructions to MASTER OFF a port. The users had a program they could run that wrote the record to the file. That way they had the ability to log off users without needing admin access.

I was always led to believe that MASTER OFF is a cleaner way to drop Universe sessions rather than killing the sessions at unix level.

You could use the sudo utility and then allow them to kill the process from Unix or a universe shell executing a unix command. Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis, it is not a replacement for the shell. andy -----Original Message----- From: Mike Farrant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 February 2005 13:02 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [UV] MASTER OFF <port> Hi, Can anyone tell me if there is a way to allow non root access users to access the universe MASTER OFF command?
