One flavor of unix we ran looked for an /etc/nologin file. If it existed, it would print the contents of the message and not allow you to login. When we moved off that particular unix, we lost that functionality. This is a nice thing to have for reasons like you speak of. So, we put a statement in the users .profile as such; if test -r /etc/nologin then cat /etc/nologin exit fi
We created a Universe command called 'FENCE.UP' that creates the 'nologin' and a 'FENCE.DOWN' that deletes the 'nologin'. Very simple and effective. Since you are on unix and not windows, you could probably do the same. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brutzman, Bill Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 12:39 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [U2] Preventing Unix Login We are getting file overflow error messages on our Sales Order files and I want to make sure that nobody can login as it is resizing.
