Automatic logout? Idle Process Killers?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We want to develop a com file to run on the batch que to automatically log
out users after the end of each shift. We only want to logout certain users,
ie not support/development personnel, the session to be logged out must also
be idle.
Are there any com files already available, if so are they downloadable, or
have you got any tips on how to develop a com file.
 
Thanks
Steve Wells
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  "Idle process killers" and terminal timeout programs are fairly
  common, with various Freeware, Shareware, and commercial packages
  available.
 
  Hitman, Watchdog, Watcher, and Zap are the names of several such
  packages.  There have also been packages tied into the DECwindows
  pause session capabilities, including Freeware packages such as
  xtermlock.
