But this isn't what I wanted. I wanted a particular user logon action to shut it down. Nothing more and nothing less. I've got ppl here who've never seen a Linux desktop and I don't want to confuse them with multiply actions as this action should only be used in a emergency. :-) As I've already posted, I've managed to get this issue resolved and I'm a happy bunny.
