The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to implement auto session logging (ie Unix "script" in .profile or /etc/profile)

Zones: Bourne Shell (sh), Unix Systems Programming, Unix Setup

Tags: Sun HP, Solaris HP-UX RHEL

For change control/support purposes, our OpenVMS servers require tech support
or administrator to login to a central VMS server (which is DCL shell script menu
driven) & from there, the administrator has to choose an option on the screen that
will do "telnet/log=logfilename target_host/IP_addr_to_access" (in OpenVMS it's
"set host/log=... target_host/IP_addr_to_access).

Would like to implement this on Solaris/HPUX/RedHat servers - is it possible to do
this transparently to the user : it's sort of screen logger plus keylogger (but don't
capture passwords) :
I'm thinking along the line of inserting into each individual users' .profile (for Korn
& Bourne shell) the lines
script filename_userid_date_time
...... user gets into system to do whatever he's doing .....
When user type "exit" or Control-D to exit, Unix OS will
exit twice (once to close the "scripted" file & another
time is the actual logoff.

Appreciate specific/exact codings.

Probably can be done at /etc/profile so that I don't have to
do this to each & every user's .profile but the coding has
to be such that it only apply this to userids with the first
3 alphabets containing the text "sgp" as I don't want to
log users who login using oraxxxxxx or an application
related id (aworks ...).

The administrators could be login to the system from a
telnet/ssh.

Certainly, if the user sgpxxxx login & then "su root",
whatever, he types/views after the "su" should still
be logged.

Thanks
