Hi,

ksh has such a feature built in.

>From the man pages of ksh on Digital UNIX :

"
  TMOUT
      If set to a value greater than 0 (zero), the shell terminates 
      if a command is not entered within the prescribed number of
seconds after issuing the PS1 prompt.  (Note that the shell 
      can be compiled with a maximum bound for this value that 
      cannot be exceeded.)
"

Just set the TMOUT variable to what you want.

Best regards !

Please let me know,

How to automatically logout the user(s) from systems ( from the shell ), if 
he or she does not use the system for specified period, say 15 minutes.
