if a user login and never shutdown or exit...how do you set an automatic shutdown or timeout if the user leave the session on for 20 minutes?
thanks

What shell does your user running ?

try to edit the:
$HOME/.profile

and set the following

TMOUT=3200

*TMOUT=3200 will cause a log off after 20 minutes (3200 seconds) if no keyboard activity encountered OR no output is generated to the display AFTER the timeout period has expired. There is a 20 second pause before the shell is exited.
