This will clear console screens idle for more than 15 mins. : who -u | awk '{ tty=$2 # basename of tty idle=$6 # time idle in "hh:mm" if ( tty !~ /^tty[01][0-9]$/ || idle == "." ) next # skip non-console & non-idle terms n = split(idle,x,":") if ( x[1] * 60 + x[2] > 15 ) # print tty if idle > 15 mins print tty }' | while read tty ; do echo "\f" > /dev/$tty ; done Suitable for running from cron. Also note that writing to the console screen will reset that screen's idle time counter. Also note that this might need to be run as root if permissions require (e.g. "mssg n" was run on one of the screens). -- Chip Rosenthal / chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US / Dallas Semiconductor / 214-450-5337 "I wish you'd put that starvation box down and go to bed" - Albert Collins' Mom
