>From my (small, tiny) knowledge of UNIX,
here's a roundabout way of achieving a solution
the "w" command usually contains a field
indicating how long a user has been idle
so...ummm...
write a script which
pipes the result of "w" to grep, which
sorts the idle field for users over 15 minutes
and kills those users login shells
(assuming you have the authority to do that) :) hmmm power
run the script in the background every 10 minutes
or so, so it doesn't hog system resources.
If this is a totally stuffed solution, someone
post the correct way.
you didn't expect the code did you... :)
later
