[logon] finally: burn-in tests for the LOGON release

[Eric Nichols]

Greetings,

I have tested jaen batch successfully with the following command:

$ LOGONROOT/batch --binary --jaen --ascii

The logs and fans are here, but they were created in $HOME, not $HOME/ 
log as batch advertised.

http://cl.naist.jp/~eric-n/data/logon-jaen-batch.tgz

Also, I noticed that lui seems to run even under batch mode. I counted  
a total of 3 lui processes.
I checked my environment, and $LUI is unset. The only way to stop lui  
from running seems to be to
delete the binary. :-{ Can anyone else confirm lui running in batch  
mode?

Eric
