- Two ways to approach it:
-
- 1. use 'xterm -ls ... ' - will help in your case
-
- 2. Incorporate the .login into the .cshrc file and make a test early in
- there. This will work for all user admission agents, not just xterm.
- The actual tests you have to do can be rather complex, but csh lore
- recommends: ' if ( 0 == $?prompt ) exit 0 ' in .cshrc
