For AT&T sys V users, KSH k-shell has options for time-out...

I havn't played with it yet, but from what I've seen, it will exit you
if no keyboard i/o is done in xmins.  I don't know if it checks the
processes or not....


Are my postings being posted more than once???  If you see this note more
than once, then please send me a note.....

This only works if the user has left the terminal at the shell prompt.  KSH
will not timeout if the user leaves the terminal in some application (like
elm, or vi).
