Thanks to EPS for whipping this utiltiy up.

It works fine if I double click on the icon, or if I invoke it from
the shell.  But if I do it as a LoginHook, it doesn't work.  I get
nothing --just a regular login.

A dread -l for root yields:

loginwindow LoginHook /LocalApps/DiskPig

What has always worked before is:

loginwindow LoginHook /LocalApps/MOTD

No problems there.  I can go back to MOTD and it works, so I don't
think my problem is doing the dwrite incorrectly.

My original plan was to just have my loginhook call a script which
calls DiskPig, then MOTD.  That script, when does as a loginhook would
call up MOTD, but no dice with DiskPig.

Anyone else had this problem?
