-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Huh!? This is man page is really not very helpful. Does the command run before or after the disconnect? What exactly is the shell environment? Why does it run as root if there is a separate setting just for this, i.e. "root postexec"? I ran with "echo $USER > /tmp/err.txt" as the command and it spat out "root". I've tried everything I can think of to get the script to run as the user. That was mostly one or another use of "su" but none of it works. <CHEWBACCA>Dis do not make sense.</CHEWBACCA> Oh, and another thing. What about those escapes below, i.e. postexec echo \"%u disconnected from %S ...? Where does it say what needs to be escaped and when? Is it just quotes or is there more? Would it be better for me to use single quotes? Jim C. | postexec (S) | This option specifies a command to be run whenever the service | is disconnected. It takes the usual substitutions. The command | may be run as the root on some systems. | | An interesting example may be to unmount server resources: | | postexec = /etc/umount /cdrom | | Default: .nf postexec | | Example: .nf postexec = echo \"%u disconnected from %S from %m | (%I)\" >> /tmp/log | | Related are: .TP 3 ? preexec .LP | | exec This parameter is a synonym for preexec. | - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------- | I can be reached on the following Instant Messenger services: | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | MSN: j_c_llings@hotmail.com AIM: WyteLi0n ICQ: 123291844 | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Y!: j_c_llings Jabber: jcllings@njs.netlab.cz | - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3-nr1 (Windows XP) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFA7g8957L0B7uXm9oRAnLWAJ9D+CsR+idrxoW2wQgo9Sbox7lxSQCfeGuR 3Rgit/YfDjXrsm4tUxlxRQs=3YIZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
