Niemi) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: Re: Looking for a nice little menu Date: 10 Jun 1993 19:06:53 GMT Organization: GTE Federal Systems Division Lines: 17 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1v80od$cgh@europa.eng.gtefsd.com> References: <1v6b14$g85@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu> Reply-To: niemidc@oasis.gtefsd.com NNTP-Posting-Host: hengist.lab.oasis.gtegsc.com We have implemented something very, very similar to what you are looking for here at GTE. It works by changing the .login to put up a menu (by calling a quick little C program) and then either running a window system (i.e. SunView or X) in a subshell, logging out, or exiting to a shell directly on the console. Unfortunately, none of this is free, but if there is a lot of interest I can see what I can do. Otherwise, you can get what you want by modifying the ".login" (if C-Shell) or ".profile".
