Re: User auto logout

hi,

add the following line at the end of ~/.profile for the regular user.

TMOUT=7200
readonly TMOUT

for all users, add it in /etc/profile.


regards.

Re: User auto logout

Depending on the shell being used:

TMOUT=3600 (seconds) korn shell
autologout csh

See the man pages of these two shells for further information.
