Brian, The DMCMD variable must be in caps. -- try using: /usr/local/pref -DM0001 DMCMD "dmcmd dmexit" Regards, Terry Terry J. Deo Process Control Systems Engineer Infineum USA, L.P.

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. -Regards, Brian Bates Bowater Inc.
