I use the stock "random" displays when ever someone logs in.

But

when they do, 2 of the displays run, one after the other. Is

there

a setting to have just one display at the time of a login?

There's no "setting" - when a display file includes a wildcard

('*' or

'?') one file matching that pattern is picked at random.

That's it.

Double check what files you have and what pattern you're

using.

I have the stock 8 Random*.msg display files in my text/menu
directory. Everytime a login happens 2 are always displayed.

That's not normal. Maybe you *also* have text/menu/logon.* files?

There's a debug-level message logged by the terminal server whenever a display file is sent to the remote client, i.e. "Printing file: x" -
that can be helpful in determining file is being sent when.

Found a stray Logon.asc in the menu directory. Also turned on Debug and also saw it there. Removed that file and it is fine now.. Thanks for the help!
