Re: [foxboro] shut down DM from a script





Terry.

Both DMCMD and dmcmd will work,  - if  you are logged in as root.
If you are logged in as a non-root user, it doesn't work either way.

This surprises me because by the looks of it, pref should be executable by
anybody, if I am reading this properly.

# ls -l /usr/local/pref
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     staff       7264 Jun 24  1998 /usr/local/pref

Brian,

The DMCMD variable must be in caps. -- try using:

/usr/local/pref -DM0001 DMCMD "dmcmd dmexit"

Terry

Subject: [foxboro] shut down DM from a script





Hi all.

I want to shut down a DM from a shell script.
I tried the following, but it only works when run by  root. I need it to
work with users other than root.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/pref -DM0001 dmcmd 'dmcmd dmexit'

Has anybody used the display manager command DMPID to give me the
process
id for the DM?.
If I could get that to work, I could kill the pid.
