Ending a Workstation Session

To end a workstation session:

1.

Quit all RCS applications which you may have running on your workstation.

2.

Position the mouse on the Logout option on the RCS Applications menu, and click the left mouse button once.

If for some reason you do not have the RCS Applications menu available, you may use one of these two ``emergency" logout procedures:

• Issue the bye command from a UNIX window, OR
• Position the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen's background, and press and hold down the right mouse button to bring up the background ``workspace" RCS menu. From this menu, drag the mouse cursor down to highlight the Logout... menu option, and release the mouse button.

In either case, the workstation screen will go blank for a moment, and eventually the Rensselaer Computing System login dialog box will reappear. It is very important that you log out before you leave a workstation. If you don't, anyone can come up to the workstation and use your files and send electronic mail in your name; the best way to prevent this from ever happening is by always logging out. Please, however, do not ever just power off a workstation to log out!!
