What're you trying to achieve? A skip past the usual bulletins and other
stuff? I implemented that once by adding a prefix ("*") to the username
at the NN: prompt. IOW to perform a fast logon, you would simply
have to enter *nightcrawler at the NN: prompt.
A simple check for the "*" turned on a flag to trigger the skip, and
removed the "*" so the username could be validated successfully. (If you
don't like a "*" use something else.) You would have to modify login.js
to check for the flag. You could insert a small block of code right after
the
// Get login string
var str=console.getstr( . . . );
to check for the prefix/flag (various ways), remove it if found, and also
either initiate the skip or set a value in a variable that can be tested
later to skip/no-skip. It depends where you want to begin skipping and
where you want to skip *to*. Something like this maybe?
// check for quick-logon prefix (O, Perl! Where art thou?)
if (str.match( /^\*\s*/ )) {
str = str.replace( /^\*\s*/, "" ); // remove prefix
QuickFlag = true; // set flagB
}
Now at any point, you can test for QuickFlag and take apropriate action as
you see fit.
