IDLEOUT(ADM) XENIX System V IDLEOUT(ADM)
Name
idleout - Logs out idle users.
Syntax
idleout [ minutes | hours:minutes ]
Description
The idleout command monitors line activity and logs out
users whose terminal remains idle longer than a specified
period of time. Minutes are assumed; if a colon appears in
the number, hours are assumed.
The utility uses a default file, /etc/default/idleout, to
indicate the interval a user's terminal may remain idle
before being logged out. This file has one entry:
IDLETIME=time
The time format is identical to that used on the command
line. The time specified in the default file is overridden
by idletime if idletime is specified on the command line.
Note that, if idletime is zero, no monitoring takes place
and idle users are not logged out. You can either run
idleout from the command line, or, to have continuous
coverage, you must add the program name in
/etc/rc.d/8/userdef to see to it that the program is run
each time the system is rebooted.
