Remember that this login dumps me to a special program that is the front
end of a ham radio app. I can not execute any linux/unix commands from
it. Of course when I execute the echo $$ from another consol or ssh session
I get that session PID. But when I do the ps command I can see at least
on the good machine where things are for the fpacuser.
