I have uploaded to SunSite.unc.edu the latest version of my VT user
program "open".
Open is a small program, that simply opens the next free virtual terminal
with the given command line, eg.
open -l bash
Would open a login bash shell on the next free terminal.
New in this release is the -w flags, which causes open to wait for the
program to finish, and then returns focus control to the starting.
Also included is a small shutdown program ("cad") that I use to catch C-A-D
presses and present the user with a dialog menu.
Jon.
