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"

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.
