telnet session closes

[Parkar Manda]

Hi,

I am running a sql script on one of our dbservers (both HP and Solaris) using a telnet session. The telnet session closes after 10 minutes.

Can anyone let me know what I have to do to increase the timeout.

thanks in advance.

The variable is called TIMEOUT and it can be found in /etc/profile or the users .profile in its home directory .

TMOUT will only timeout when your session is totally at an idle stage. If you are running a sql script, then you are not idle, hence TMOUT does not kick in.

Which system is kicking you out after 10 minutes? What are you connecting from?

Hi Harry,
Thanks for responding. This is
happening in Solaris. I have the session open for 10 minutes and it closes. I am using ssh to connect to the solaris box.

thanks,
Parkar

Hi Manda,

On your solaris server add TMOUT=0 to your locale profile.


Kind regards,
