Hi... I'm running SCO Unix 3.2.2/MC. I would like to know if it is possible to let a user dialing in to get the login prompt again. For example, I run two different BBS programs, Waffle and Magpie. I would like to give the user the option to log out of one and get to the login prompt so he could login again. I believe this is possible using gettydefs, but I would rather have the user type some option in the BBSes that would log him out and log him in as the other account. Sort of like a su, but with a logout inbetween the new login. I don't like the gettydefs option because the user might not figure out that he has to hang up on the system rather than vice versa. Any help is appreciated. Doug -- Doug Fields -- 100 Midwood Road, Greenwich, CT 06830 --- (FAX) +1 203 661 2996 uucp: uunet!sir-alan!admiral!doug ------------------------ Thank you sir-alan!

Don't know specifically about SCO UNIX, but the standard way of not disconnecting when you logout is to issue the command "stty -hup".
