How to implement locking/unlocking a Linux worker at user login/out

KDM:​

In /usr/share/config/kdm, create the files:

Xstartup (run a logon)
Xreset (run at logoff)

GDM:​

In /etc/gdm, create the files:

PostLogin/Default (Logon)
PostSession/Default (Logoff)

This is the script that runs on login:​

MYHOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
COMMAND="/usr/local/pfx/qube/bin/qblock --lock --purge $MYHOSTNAME"
logger Running "$COMMAND"
$COMMAND
logger Finished running "$COMMAND"

This is the script that runs on logoff:​

MYHOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
COMMAND="/usr/local/pfx/qube/bin/qbunlock --unlock $MYHOSTNAME"
logger Running "$COMMAND"
$COMMAND
logger Finished running "$COMMAND"
