about telnet closed?

[huanghongjie]

I had a new server, os is HP-UX11i. Today i find a question. I telnet to the HP server from another host (sco unix),and executed a monitor's shell.After 30 minute, i found that the shell was closed with message "Connection closed by foreign host" . I had checked kernel configure parameter,but not found any about telnet timeout. How can i resolve the question,because the monitor's shell must be run in 24 hours.
thanks

Once you login , do TMOUT=0.

Also does it give anything in syslog when you get logged out? Are you coming to hp box through firewall? And has anything defined on firewall to log you out after particular period?

check /etc/profile or .profile and find put the TMOUT value and change it to 0

NO,the two machines is in same lan,and at the back of firewall . The monitor shell is not quit, so it must be connected to the HP SERVER. I had found another thing that the shell process is runing in server with "ps -ef|grep ???" , and if had many the dead process, the value of CPU sys is higher than normal with command "sar -u ". It can reach 30%-40%. But i kill the dead process ,the value is down.

Surely it is a firewall timeout for an idle session . I face the same issue with one or two DMZ nodes here.

Catch hold of the firewall expert !

Hi,
The best way is to execute shell script in background or with nohup, or at, or crontab. Then you can be sure that nothing will disconnect the session while the script is running.
