Wong) Date: Wed, 2 Mar 1994 13:24:20 GMT Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia Lines: 16 Hi, My question is very simple, from within a shell, how can one find out if he/she is in remote session, instead of local one, say on telnet or rlogin? Note, I do not want to type special escape character to bring me back to local session (ie ^] in telnet, and ~. in rlogin/rsh). Is there any simplest way (not in programmin level) to check with inetd , telnetd, rlogind etc for such verification ? Thanks in advance and email reply please. - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au (M.C Wong) -- - wongm@latcs1.lat.oz.au
