When I log off using "logout", there is a noticeable delay before the system says good-bye. However if I use any sequenced prefixed with the letters "logo" the good-bye is immediate. Can someone tell me why this happens and why "logo" is so special. Franco Carlacci your system manager has likely hooked some command file into the logout command, but not variant spellings. try show symbol/global to see what if anything is taking its place.
