OK, it's taken me a while to try and put this into action but I am
basically there... :
#!/bin/sh
if zenity --question --title "IT Policy" --text "Blah Blah. Blah. Blah.
Blah. Blah.. If you do not accept this policy please select Cancel to
logoff, otherwise press OK to continue."
then
echo "Policy Accepted, thus continue to load gnome"
else
echo "Logoff"
/usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill --silent
fi
The script works, but every time cancel is selected a dialog box is
displayed as if users had used the gnome-menu to logoff. As far as I can
see this box should only be displayed if the comamnd *
/usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill --silent* is changed to
*/usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill --gui*
Any ideas how I can force the logoff process to occur?
Many thanks,
-Chris
