Scheduling login
Hi.
I would like to know if there is any method to schedule logins for a user.
I want the user x to login automatic if system is booted up in a particular range of time.
I want proper login with passwords at other times.

The scenario is that the system has be scheduled for automatic booting up and automatically dials in to the network.There are download managers and scripts that are scheduled to run after user logs in.Everything is set,except that the user is not automatically logged in.Currently I have enabled auto-login.But this is not a secure way as,if I forget to change back to proper login before office hours,others would have a free access into the user's data.

So,how can I let this particular use login?If there are no straight forward methods(didn't find any on searching) ,I would like to know if a script would do the trick.If so please help.
Thanks in advance.

On our AIX system entries were placed in the inittab file to start DB2 and our applications When the system is rebooted or started. They su to the user to run the scripts. I am not experienced enough to help you out with how the entries should look, but maybe someone else can help. The inittab file is located in the /etc directory. Good luck.
