Hi can someone let me know the difference between the Interactive and
Non Interactive user id's?

per my understanding, interactive id is something which require
access
to SHELL or execute from SHELL.


Thanks,
Naru

If I remember right there is no such thing as InterActive and Non-
InterActive UIDs but you have processes that are spun off on initial
boot that will run as you but arent started by you. Such as (in KDE)
the plasma Desktop shell.

Hi

my understanding of that (on AIX):
login=true => Interactive UID
login=false => Non-interactive UID
