Both of my answers do require programming -- so my apologies if you're not
a programmer.  Personally, I'm a programmer, so that's just the way I
think of things :)  I've written both solutions at various times in my
life -- if I had to choose one or the other, I'd go the "ACQUIRE" route...
it's just a little less messy.

HTH


Thanks for the replies....
What is killing me is that I seem to remember we handled this with no special coding. A devd or jobd that automatically logged in... Something to do with why we needed a special subsystem and the workstation entries. 

Maybe it is just old age setting in.
I know I can override the signon screen at the subsystem level. Maybe in the DDS I could provide the default user/pass for this limited account. Would no bypass signon completely, but would reduce it to a press of the Enter.
The Acquire scenario sounds very interesting, but I have not done something that generically grabs sessions. We have automated some of our UPS billing by using a dummy telnet session to simulate user keystrokes....
If we were to write a generic program to grab these sessions, how would we know one was sitting on a signon screen? 

Sorry for so many questions.  I feel a bit obsessed now -- need an answer :)

Thanks!
