OK, here's another obvious "newbie" question.
I have several users on my system (application server) that have no
interaction with Linux itself (SCO Unix, currently) and would prefer NOT to
have to interact with the little $ prompt. The old SCO system is currently
set up to auto-launch our primary application menuing system as soon as the
user logs into the shell.
How do I do this in Linux? (I can't even explore the setup in SCO, because
the !#$!@# that set up the old SCO box didn't bother to install any text
editor that I've been able to find.) I'm assuming it's a setting in the
.profile, but I can't find any specific references that state exactly what
command or line entry would be required to launch the menu.
(BTW, the menu is not a shell of it's own that could be set up as the users
default shell. It's the main menu from an interpreted Basic software
package that we have installed on the system.)
Thx, again.
