Help Logging Out?
| 
Feb 18 03:40 UTC 1993 |
A question... many times I type Unix, because I want to read news.
That works fine...but I can never quit after I finish. I try logout
then it says, to try quit so finally I just disconnect the modem.
how am I really supposed to do it?

At the login: prompt, type bye and off you go, bye-bye, it's
a process.

At the login prompt, any of the following should userids should execute
a program to disconnect the modem: bye exit hangup quit
Susan, if you're at a Unix shell prompt the exit command is exit
You can also do a control-D from that point.

I have been having a problem logging out at my UNIX prompt. It gives me
a not in login shell...so I end up going to menu and L. I would like for
someone to look at it and maybe get it right...or tell me what to do..
I love learning more. ;) tnx again!

Sounds like somehow you ran a shell from some other program. Try
typing "exit" instead of "logout", and see where it gets you.

Find out the process number of that shell and 'kill' it. How about
Control-D? Won't that kill a shell (I know it kills a login shell).

I had that problem, and how I solved it, was that I created a command
that would exit from the shell. I have two, actually. "a" is my logout
and "e" is my exit command.
You have to be running .csh to get away with this, but you would need
to to add
alias e exit
alias a logout
to your .cshrc file. This works very well for me.
Since running MacLayers I usually have to invoke both of these commands
to exit, and with Zterm, only 1 is needed.
Hope that helps you.

That's why I read this conference. Feel free to ask as many questions
as you need.

And then there is always the tried and true .... stty 0 which
has an immediate effect.

Which is roughly equivalent to the power switch on your modem.

Not if you have an internal modem - in which case the power switch is
the power switch for your computer. (**Why** don't they put an external
switch on internal modems?)

Good point, Dave. stty 0 is roughly equivalent to unplugging your phone cord.

*Another* reason why I don't have a computer with an internal modem.

Good old tried and true ... it even works with a bang if necessary, !stty 0.
Might be rude and crude, but so's chopping fire wood with a single-bitted axe.

this looks like a good place to ask this -
since "exec stty 0" in a .logout hangs up the phone, but hangs up your
internet link if you are on a ttypX, I was told that "stty hupcl" will
work, as that means 'hang up on close' according to what I understand.
now, what I don't understand, is why it usually doesn't work. I have that
in my .logout, but in only one time in 10 or so will I get hung up on.
the rest of the time Iwill end up at the login prompt.
so, I guess I'd like to know either 1) what I'm doing wrong or 2) a simple
one-line "if" structure or something that will do an "exec stty 0" only if
I am on a dialup.

Don't know. I always lets grex hang up on me whether I'm telnetting
or dialing in. I just "logout" and let the system do the rest (with
the exception of having to type "bye" at the login prompt when dialing
in). I suppose you could look at a finger output and test whether
you're on an "h" tty or a "p" tty and only do an "stty 0" in the former
case. Something along the lines of "finger -fs mylogin | awk {print $4}"
could be used to pick out the TTY field of the finger output. You'd
use that to set a shell variable and then test if the variable had an
"h" or a "p" or "q" and proceed accordingly. Well...just an idea. I'll
let those shell script wizards make it workable...
