Re: [Plug] log user out at subshell level?

[tburba@GLCORPIS01.usvision.com]

This was to be a simple solution. I don't want to change people's login
shells. The intent was to inform users that file backup was in progress and
to not login to run any applications at this time.

Can you change their login shell to a shell script instead of
[sh|bash|ksh|csh|zsh|ash|tcsh] that just does the following:
###########################################################################
#####
#!/bin/sh
cat /some/file/to/see
echo '[hit enter]'
read
exit
###########################################################################
#####
Once they login, they'll get the chance to see the file, and then when
they hit enter, it will automaticly exit.
Save the old passwd file, and restore everything when you're ready for them
to have accounts again.
