I've already automated something similar here and run into one snag. The logoff event (and indeed the operator message that the userid is logged off) preceeds its really being gone from the system. When I attempted to drive an XAUTOLOG... action directly from the logoff event, I consistently received a logoff/force pending response. I instead had to implement an exec which looped on the error response, pausing before retrying. I considered opening a PMR, but have MY solution already in place.
