Shell Idle Timeouts.

2007-12-25 11:53:00

Thanks you all for your responces. Two Solutions: the TMOUT environment

variable for ksh users, and a program called idled available at

http://www.darkwing.com/idled/ (now in version 1.16).

 My users are all running the Bourne Shell, so I'm going to go with idled

which looks like more than i need already.

My original post is below. Thank you all very much (too many names to type

in :)

----- Original Post --------

Sorry -- my previous post spazzed

Running SunOS4.1.3 on Sparc5

So, I Have users logging in from this network provider, so effectively they

all come in through a router called "remote-net". This provider charges us

by the minute, and my users are not too tidy abou cleaning up their

sessions after they're done so I spend enormous amounts of money on time

spent Idle.

Is there a sun utility that will log only these "remote-net" users out

after a certain idle time? I was thinking about writing a script to do it

via cron job, but I was hoping for something cleaner.

Thanks very much,

Harry
