Bug Description

Programmer mode (aka GT.M's direct mode) implies the ability to run Linux commands (via the ZSY MUMPS command). Thus, if a user logging in through a tied account requests programmer mode access, OpenVista should check for a valid Linux username and password before allowing them to proceed, even if they have the right security keys in OpenVista.

Instead of using ZSYSTEM to call logger, perhaps we can use PIPE I/O and feed it the message via stdin? This would prevent problems with the shell interpreting special characters.
