[Air-l] login/logon

[James Howison]

Let's ask the computer:

[james at MinistryOfInformation]$bash --login
$~
[james at MinistryOfInformation]$
$~
[james at MinistryOfInformation]$logout
$~
[james at MinistryOfInformation]$bash --logon
bash: --logon: invalid option

<snip>

I think that's a vote for login (and logout).
