In general, this is not recommended, but should (notice I say should not would) not be harmful as long as their terminal emulators drops the connection when they close the terminal window.
But why do you not give each user his/her own Linux userid? Linux security is
better than VistA security, and sharing userids and passwords is frowned upon
by the security folks.
Also, why are folks exiting VistA? Why not stay in till it's time to go home?

Subject: [Hardhats-members] Need advice re Linux/GT.M login script
In my environment, the nurses will be using the
terminal access to vista only rarely (1-5 times/day).
So I am trying to figure a way that they will stay
connected to the system, and not be booted out all the
time.
Currently there are 2 logins required.
1st) a login & pwd to connect to the linux server via
ssh (a common set of codes for all employees)
2nd) the vista access code/verify codes
(employee-specific)
I would like to have the terminal stay connected, even
if they are logged out of vista. That way they will
only have to enter their vista codes in again the next
time.
Here is the current script that is executed when users
connect to a "vista" account
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
sh runvista ^ZU
exit
#----------------------------
I would like to change this to a loop, like this:
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
while [1 -eq 1]
do
sh runvista ^ZU
done
exit
#----------------------------
My concern is that there is no "proper" way to exit
vista or GT.M with this method. As soon as they log
out, they will be prompted to log back in. Thus they
would just exit the terminal application to shut down
the computer at night.
Would this be harmful for vista or GT.M (i.e. the
equivelent of a crash?)
Thanks
Kevin
