Huh!?  This is man page is really not very helpful.  Does the command
run before or after the disconnect?  What exactly is the shell
environment? Why does it run as root if there is a separate setting just
for this, i.e. "root postexec"?  I ran with "echo $USER > /tmp/err.txt"
as the command and it spat out "root". I've tried everything I can think
of to get the script to run as the user. That was mostly one or another
use of "su" but none of it works.

<CHEWBACCA>Dis do not make sense.</CHEWBACCA>

Oh, and another thing.  What about those escapes below, i.e. postexec =
echo \"%u disconnected from %S ...? Where does it say what needs to be
escaped and when? Is it just quotes or is there more?  Would it be
better for me to use single quotes?

|        postexec (S)
|               This option specifies a command to be run whenever  the
  service
|               is  disconnected.  It takes the usual substitutions. The
command
|               may be run as the root on some systems.
|
|               An interesting example may be to unmount server resources:
|
|               postexec = /etc/umount /cdrom
|
|               Default: .nf postexec =
|
|               Example: .nf postexec = echo \"%u disconnected from %S
from  %m
|               (%I)\" >> /tmp/log
|
|               Related are: .TP 3 · preexec .LP
|
|        exec   This parameter is a synonym for preexec.
