I'm trying to write a auto-logout facility and am using vhangup to reinitialise a users tty. This does some bizarre things, and several people have suggested that I kill the users shell process instead. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences( pleasant or unpleasant) with the vhangup() call. I'd appreciate any suggestions...

I'd appreciate any suggestions... Among other things, the vhangup() system call should disappear from POSIX-based systems. It will be gone from 4.4BSD. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
