Hi Natesan,

Ask your customer to close the shell "properly" Else define shell timeout variable! I don't remember the variable name.

Your script must use the trap command. While the default is to terminate when the connection is trashed, this apparently is not working, so make sure that there is a specific action:

trap "exit" 1 2 3 15

Now if your script creates any temporary files, include this in the trap action statement:

trap "rm -f /var/tmp/mytempfile; exit" 1 2 3 15

In addition, you can always set a shell timeout by using:

export TMOUT=3600
