Hello folks,
Maybe this is not the best place for this but does anyone
know of or have a program that watches for idle terminals and logs
them out if they are inactive for a specified amount of time. I have
eight terminals running off my NeXT and most of my users came from
our old Vax system that had an Idle Process terminator called
WATCHER. Everyone is so use to letting the program log them out that
people are leaving their terminals on for hours until I find them and
have to manually kill the process. Set autologout= "some time value"
does not work if the users left the terminal while in a program
application. I can't seem to impress upon my users to remember to
logout. If any of you UNIX gurus have an answer I would appreciate
you e-mailing me. Thanks.
