Does anybody know how to toggle the 'autologout' feature in 3.2 that times the inactivity of a wsh, and eventually kills it? If you can't shut it off, is it possible to lengthen the time that a wsh is allowed to be inactive and remain open? I'm not really concerned with ordinary wsh's, but I would like to be able to keep my console open. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but sometimes it's the little things... Thanks in advance, Steve Azueta

It's probably not wsh, but your shell that is timing out. If you use the Bourne shell (ie /bin/sh), do the following in your .profile: TIMEOUT=0 export TIMEOUT For C shell and derivatives, try the following in your .cshrc: set autologout=0

Does someone have any information about an autologout (idle-jobs killer)
system that is "shell independed"?
I know that such a mechanism is included in "tcsh" but I cannot force
all users to use that shell.
Thanks a lot for any information,
valter
