Comes under the category of a batch job since the job was logged in via
the batch system and not via an interactive terminal.  Subprocesses don't
count either.  And the fact that you are using the subprocess with its
process-permanent files directed at a terminal also does not count to
the interactive login limit since LOGINOUT is not being run!  The key
seems to be executing LOGINOUT with the process-permanent files
directed to a terminal-like device and not in a subprocess (this lets
subprocesses, batch jobs and detached non-batch processes executing
under DCL off the hook).
