i am having the same problem in regards to exiting UNIX via a menu using the ksh. I want the menu option to log the user out, however the logout command has to be run from the command prompt and wont work from within the script. If u find an answer, I too am in need of it.

Our network administrators implemented some sort of check to kill idle sessions and now burden is on us to run some sort of keep alive. Client based keep alive doesn't do a very good job. I have same issue with ssh. Does solution 2 provided above apply for ssh sessions also? (1 Reply)

run(1F) FMLI Commands run(1F)
NAME
run - run an executable
SYNOPSIS
run [ -s] [-e] [-n] [-t string] program
DESCRIPTION
The run command runs program, using the PATH variable to find it. By default, when program has completed, the user is prompted (Press ENTER
to continue:), before being returned to FMLI. The argument program is a system executable followed by its options (if any).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-e If -e is specified, the user will be prompted before returning to FMLI only if there is an error condition
-n If -n is specified, the user will never be prompted before returning to FMLI (useful for programs like vi, in which
the user must do some specific action to exit in the first place).
-s The -s option means "silent", implying that the screen will not have to be repainted when program has completed.
Note that the -s option should only be used when program does not write to the terminal. In addition, when -s is
used, program cannot be interrupted, even if it recognizes interrupts.
-tstring If -t is specified, string is the name this process will have in the pop-up menu generated by the frm-list command.
This feature requires the executable facesuspend (see face(1)) to suspend the process and return to the FMLI appli-
cation.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Sample output of run command
Here is a menu that uses run:
menu="Edit special System files"
name="Password file"
action=`run -e vi /etc/passwd`
name="Group file"
action=`run -e vi /etc/group`
name="My .profile"
action=`run -n vi $HOME/.profile`
