Let's ask the computer: [james@MinistryOfInformation]$bash --login $~ [james@MinistryOfInformation]$ $~ [james@MinistryOfInformation]$logout $~ [james@MinistryOfInformation]$bash --logon bash: --logon: invalid option <snip> I think that's a vote for login (and logout). ;) --J On Mar 2, 2005, at 11:54 AM, Barry Wellman wrote:
Which is the preferred usage: "login" or "logon". For my paper writing, I'd like to standardize on one.
Google shows: "login": 218 Million hits "logon": 6.7 Million hits
