Exceed xstart command verify how?

[Anna Yip]

Hi,

Currently my users launch their apps via the Exceed xstart icon. However,
they can change the command as they like which I hope to prevent. How can I
check the commands at the unix server end before allowing them to proceed
further?

The account uses ksh shell and after some trying with the .profile, I notice
that the commands in the .profile are run first and then the xstart command.
This can be seen from the .sh_history file.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thks

Hi Anna,

you could try sudo to limit access to certain commands on the unix server
side. This should render all changes of the xstart file useless.
