There is no code in the 5250 protocol that means "signon" either, yet
there is an auto-signon feature in iSeries Access. I believe there is a
system request code that can be sent even when the session is
input-inhibited, and option 90 from there could be used to signoff.

Actually, there is. The tn5250rc keywords that enable this for tn5250 are env.USER and env.IBMSUBSPW.

The system request code is an interesting, if still somewhat trouble prone, idea.
