    Thanks

    Most of them don't know Unix and they just need simple requests.
    I even have them checking their own TSM backup logs. There is also a module that you can upload files from you PC to the Unix box which one of my users really likes. No more logging in & FTP.

    It's browser based and you set up users for it with passwords. You can limit what each user has access to also.

    The only down side for me is that it is not interactive. I have each group of users set up with their own scripts.

    Check it out.

    Good luck
