HPUX Session timeout

[trsuppt1]

Hello,

I would like to configure HPUX 11i to stop my connections (e.g. telnet, Oracle SQLPLus)timing out after a period of inactivity. I have already set TMOUT=0 and unset autologout.

Thanks

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,

TMOUT=0 means no timeout, TMOUT=60 means timeout after 60 seconds.

Time out can also be set on X-emulation (reflection/xvision) products.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Giovanni,

setting TMOUT will only disconnect login sessions (telnet, ssh, ...).
Other network connection are not affected by this setting.

Hi Giovanni,

I think that keep_alive settings could help you.

Best regards,

Actually, TMOUT and autologout only applies to the shell. If they are set to zero, then the shell never exits. TMOUT is in seconds, autologout (for csh users) is in minutes. HOWEVER, it applies only to the shell, so if the user is sitting at a shell prompt, the timer is running. If the user runs a program like vi or some interactive Oracle interface, the timer stops since the shell is paused. You will have to locate a similar timer for the Oracle programs.

Thanks for your replies. After much frustration it actually looks like it may be a network problem.
