How do I check for more than root ,so that the script does not kill that login.
eg I want the script to first check the file in a dir to see if logins exist (dont kill) before it executes the script.
THanks

Hamim:

I'm not clear what you are trying to do, but I think your basic logic is flawed. Don't you want to pipe the output of 'who -u' to a while loop parsing each line?

#!/bin/ksh

who -u| while txtline=$(line); do
set -- `echo $txtline`
echo $1
done
# end script

I actually want my script to search a file in a directory eg: /tmp/pals
in pals I will list all logins I donot want to kill with my script.
At the moment it will only ignore "root",hence do if test -r != "root"

Thanks
