Please check the file of the user's .profile,there is a variabel named 'TMOUT',comment it.

Hi Rajib,

hy is right. See man ksh or whatever shell you use. You can see the value for timeout wirh set | grep TMOUT.

greetings,

Michael

You forgot to tell us what shell these users are using. Depending on the user's default shell the files and variables are different. For example for csh & tcsh users you can set "set autologout = 10080" in /etc/csh.cshrc file. The above sets autologout to 7 days exactly. After 7 days of idle time a user's session will be automatically logged out. The same could be done also on per user basis in user's dot files in his/her home directory

HTH,
Ross

Ross,

does this also work for the graphic console login? Does it end the session or just the shell?

greetings,

Michael

Michael,

It works the same as setting TMOUT in say /etc/profile for shells that use /etc/profile (sh, bash, ksh, etc). It will log the user(s) out after the idle time set is reached.
