Looking for a script

Mike Reeb — Thu, 23 Aug 2001 13:58:37 GMT

I am looking for a script that will kill users that have been inactive on the system for an extended amount of time. But only if they are running a specific command I need to know where to go and look for this creature

Would you be killing applications that were written inhouse (so that you would know the outcome of killing the process) or would you want to kill processes that are third party apps?

I'm also assuming that the users are not at a shell prompt, correct?

HI
Using TMOUT parameter in .profile of user will logout user after specified idle time.
TMOUT=300 (ie. 5 minutes)
readonly TMOUT (This will make sure that user will not modify this parameter.
This parameter is useful of users with idle shell prompt for specified time. It will not kill the hang processes or idle socket connections.

Thanks.
Prashant.
