It kinda depends on what your logon script is doing. If the script is this: `#!perl sleep 20;` [download] Then it's working just fine. Seriously though, I can think of a lot of processes that might happen upon login that would take a short time and then be finished and quit without error. What do you think it should be doing?

What statment causes the delay? Add trace statments (prints to a file which include timestamps and position identifiers such as line numbers) throughout the script. Or is the delay before the script even starts executing?	[reply]
