I hv a script to kill the idle user,

for x in ` who -u |awk ........ `
do

idleuser = ......

if [[ ...... ]]
then
kill $idleuser
fi
done

If I want to add a user list so that the user in the list will be be killed by the script , could suggest how to modify the script ? thx.

Hi,

why not use the TMOUT var in the profiles of the users//etc/default/profile.

TMOUT
If this parameter is set to a value greater than zero and you do not enter another command or Return within that number of seconds, the shell terminates.

HTH,
