Upon login a script requests a prompt for the user to run one of 5 scripts (including rolling back to a previous backup and going to the shell).
I have located the scripts it prompts you to run in /opt/bin
My question is which file points to these scripts on login?
Thanks
Is this for BSD or for Linux?? If you want something to run after the user logs in, put a command either in the users .profile (or .bash_profile), to execute. Or you can add it to the system-wide default profile, usually /etc/profile (may be different on your system, but it will be under /etc/ somewhere...).
This is for BSD - where would I find the users .profile file please?
In each of the users home directories. Every user has one, and in my opinion, I'd rather put something there, than in the system profile. In case things go sideways, I'd rather have some 'untouched' logins that don't try to do ANYTHING, except get me to a shell.
