From: Gail Rubin <grubin@bbn-spca> Is this solution good enough for your purposes: Have your system wide login check for a batch job (via F$MODE) and exit if it is a batch job. This would mean that ALL batch jobs on your system would not execute the system login; that might not be what you wanted. -- Gail Rubin (grubin@bbn-spca or @bbn-unix)

Kathy,
Perhaps what you want to do is suppress echoing of the login
command procedure, but still execute it. You can do this by adding
a "V = F$VERIFY(0)" at the beginning of SYLOGIN.COM and "V = F$VERIFY(V)"
at the end.
When an interactive job logs in, VERIFY is set off. When a batch
job logs in VERIFY is set on. You can explicitly control VERIFY (echoing
of commands in command procedures) with the "SET VERIFY" and "SET NOVERIFY"
commands or with the lexical functions illustrated above. The advantage
of the function is that it returns the current state so that you can
restore it later.
