Here be dragons I would suggest you absolutely do *not* bypass login :) Rather what you should do, is in the login have an exit ability There are things you want to do, like clean up and reinitialize operations Of course you may not realize you want to do these until you've been bitten

We have a program that runs in one account, but under certain conditions it is becoming necessary for that program to execute a command in another account, and then continue on its merry way doing other things. One fairly simplistic example might be that the process might find it necessary to create a file in another account. We have come up with a number of different ways of accomplishing this, but all involve a "phantom" LOGTO of some sort -whether it be through working with the UV.ACCOUNT file, the LOGIN paragraph, or some combination of the above. While this will do what is necessary, there are timing issues to consider, control and response issues, error checking, etc. It can be done, but it's not pretty. Does anyone have a more elegant and efficient way of accomplishing this? Thanks in advance! Brian F.
