nologin — politely
refuse a login
nologin |
nologin displays a message that an account
is not available and exits non-zero. It is intended as a replacement shell
field for accounts that have been disabled.
If the file /etc/nologin.txt exists,
nologin displays its contents to the user instead of
the default message.
The nologin command appeared in
4.4BSD.
