LogHooks.1.0 19 Feb 1997 These are the same LoginHook and LogoutHook which have been available on the 'net for some time. However, they have previously been bundled with the program "Bypass" and I could never remember where they were, so I decided to put them in their own .tar.gz folder. They are compiled QuadFat by Eric Tremblay (eric@cdrom.com) and I copied them off the Nebula/Walnut Creek CD-ROM set which Eric puts together. For those who aren't familiar, these programs, see /NextLibrary/Documentation/NextAdmin/09_StartShut.rtfd Login Hook A script or application that runs when anyone logs in. Logout Hook A script or application that runs when anyone logs out. The programs allow you to set (as root) the following dwrites: dwrite loginwindow LoginHook /usr/local/bin/LoginHook dwrite loginwindow LogoutHook /usr/local/bin/LogoutHook (where /usr/local/bin is the path to the two programs found herein). LoginHook will look for the file ~/.LoginHook when a user logs in and run it before the loginwindow starts up. LogoutHook will look for the file ~/.LogoutHook when a user logs out and will run it before completing the logout. I find it useful to prompt for the user to clean out their Recycler using the LogoutHook, and also use it to ask me if I want to reboot the machine, power the machine down, or just exit. See the script "Logout.sh" for an example of what you might want to do in ~/.LogoutHook
