:command: nologin
== NAME
nologin - politely refuse a login
== SYNOPSIS
*nologin* [*-V*] [*-h*]
== DESCRIPTION
*nologin* displays a message that an account is not available and exits non-zero. It is intended as a replacement shell field to deny login access to an account.
If the file _/etc/nologin.txt_ exists, *nologin* displays its contents to the user instead of the default message.
The exit status returned by *nologin* is always 1.
== OPTIONS
*-c*, *--command* _command_
*--init-file*
*-i* *--interactive*
*--init-file* _file_
*-i*, *--interactive*
*-l*, *--login*
*--noprofile*
*--norc*
*--posix*
*--rcfile* _file_
*-r*, *--restricted*
These shell command-line options are ignored to avoid *nologin* error.

== NOTES
*nologin* is a per-account way to disable login (usually used for system accounts like http or ftp). *nologin* uses _/etc/nologin.txt_ as an optional source for a non-default message, the login access is always refused independently of the file.
*pam_nologin*(8) PAM module usually prevents all non-root users from logging into the system. *pam_nologin*(8) functionality is controlled by _/var/run/nologin_ or the _/etc/nologin_ file.
== HISTORY
The *nologin* command appeared in 4.4BSD.
