Date: 28 Nov 1993 01:30:40 GMT Organization: Eastern Michigan University Lines: 18 Message-ID: <2d8v00$cs3@zip.eecs.umich.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: emunix.emich.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I currently am a tutor at our school. Being a tutor, I'm barragged with questions regarding problems and such, even when I'm not supposed to be tuttoring. Students find out that I'm logged on and either rush in to see me, or start sending me mail. I can't stand it. Short of getting another anonymous account, is there a way where I can log in and have myself suppressed from the 'who' and 'w' commands? I'm not trying to eliminate myself from login records, just these commands. I don't care about the 'finger' command without arguements, since I think results of 'who' are piped into it. People have told me to look into remote logins and a program called Screen. I have no idea what they are talking about. Can anyone help me? Thanks...Alex Sharifi
