thanks all for replying. thanks for the sleep command tellis.
how do i in a shell script logout once the shell script is finished running, i mean to say that, in the shell script i want to write in a command that would just log me out of the shell once the shell script finishes executing.
can it be done using the exit command , because i have tried with the exit command by creating a new shell script called "exit" and calling it in the old shell script.
but it doesnt seem to log me out.
any ideas....
thanks for all the replies,
regards, mike.
