Hmmmm.... I don't see how this could help me. Actually, your solution would EXIT the shell I came from, after the login has finished!! So I not only have to type all the "exit"s on the remote host, I would even loose my current shell on the local host. Maybe to repeat what I would like to do: A typical application would go like this: rlogin foobar DO SOME STUFF cleartool setview myview # this creates a subshell DO MORE STUFF cleartool setview yourview # now I'm two subshells deep DO STILL MORE STUFF # Now I want to exit exit exit logout I would like to have a (interactive) command which does the final two exits plus a logout for me. BTW, I could imagine a solution using 'expect', which does the login, then hands over the control to the user, and finally if the user is done, performs the exit and logout.
