How do I allow a user to only execute Trouble Ticket when they log in

Question:

How can I create a user who can only bring up Trouble Ticket
when they login into the RISC?

Solution: 

If you are using '/bin/ksh' then you should add modify the
$USER's .profile, and the .profile should look like the 
following:

PATH=/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.

export PATH

if [ -s "$MAIL" ]           \# This is at Shell startup.  In normal
then echo "$MAILMSG"        \# operation, the Shell checks
fi                          \# periodically.
export DISPLAY=vulcan:0
nohup /usr/bin/tt6000
exit

Note the use of the nohup and exit.  These are the key to
solving the problem.  The logic is that when doing the 
nohup a SIGHUP is ignored when the user loggs out.  The
process will then run until they exit Trouble Ticket.
