Re: about the timeout

export TMOUT=1200

This will cause an idle shell to logout after 1200 seconds.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: about the timeout

hi,

for individual user:

# vi ~/.profile
export TMOUT=600
-> add the above at the bottom of the file, 600 seconds.

for all user:

# vi /etc/profile
export TMOUT=600

regards.
(p.s. please remember to assign points.)

Re: about the timeout

Just remember that it works when it's on the prompt only. If the users starts vi or another program, if the user leaves the terminal, it won't time out.

It's different than when you see the IDLE time with the w command.
