I'm using Bombich's Login Window manager software to help create a custom login message for students to "Sign In" before using the computers. I then wanted to put a shell script on log out that just pops up a message that says "Please remember to sign out."

Can someone point me to (or maybe just make one?) a script that does that? Just pops up a dialog window with a custom message and an OK button before the computer logs out.

Thanks a bunch.

*knuckles crack*

Code:
osascript -e 'tell app "System Events"' -e 'beep' -e 'display dialog "Remember to Sign Out"' -e 'end tell'

This all has to be on one line, and I am not sure how it is going to like being part of a logout script... but it is start.

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Seems to be a different format.

The example scripts are more along the lines of C or something.

Hah, nevermind. I didn't realize you could make a script in any script language.

Thanks, it worked.

Actually, both the Bombich scripts and Larkost's are written in the same shell language. Larkost's just calls the osacript AppleScript interpreter.
