A-Shell Development History

-logintext "<text>"

The specified text string (with mandatory quotes) overrides the login text embedded in the ATE configuration. As with the ATE configuration, you can use the "^m" notation to specify control characters (^m = carriage return, ^[ = escape) and tilde to cause a 0.25 second delay.

This feature is primarily useful in cases where you want to launch another ATE session using the existing configuration information (protocol, host address, login, etc.) but with a different startup command.

HOWEVER: in the case of UNIX servers, as with the login text in the ATE configuration, it gets processed after the operating system login startup command (e.g. the $HOME\.bash_profile). If that startup file launches A-Shell, then your login text will have to be designed to pick from there.
