The proper approach is to make Sql*Menus the user's shell. Add the full path to /etc/shells and make the change in /etc/passwd for each user. When they log in, they'll immediately be taken to this prog & will log out when they exit. You may want to wrap it in a shell script if you need to set environment variables.
