Conditional Shell Statement
I want to add a conditional statement to a user's .profile file. I have a certain number of users that log in and use the rksh (Restricted Korn Shell). When they log in, it starts a certain program and when they exit this program, the system logs them out. When they are in this program, they can create files that they would like to retrieve via scp.

The last 2 line in this .profile file:
program1
exit

The program WinSCP reads the .profile and tries to start up program1 and eventually times out and exits. If there a way to detect in the .profile if the person is logging in with WinSCP or just a normal login (usally with Putty).

if [not logging in with WinSCP]; then
program1
exit
fi

Or:

if [loggin in normally]; then
program1
exit
fi

ppi::statement::null

PPI::Statement::Null(3) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   PPI::Statement::Null(3)

NAME

       PPI::Statement::Null - A useless null statement

SYNOPSIS

	 my $foo = 1;

	 ; # <-- Null statement

	 my $bar = 1;

INHERITANCE

	 PPI::Statement::Null
	 isa PPI::Statement
	     isa PPI::Node
		 isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       "PPI::Statement::Null" is a utility class designed to handle situations where PPI encounters a naked statement separator.

       Although strictly speaking, the semicolon is a statement separator and not a statement terminator, PPI considers a semicolon to be a
       statement terminator under most circumstances.

       In any case, the null statement has no purpose, and can be safely deleted with no ill effect.

METHODS

       "PPI::Statement::Null" has no additional methods beyond the default ones provided by PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element.

SUPPORT

       See the support section in the main module.
