Killing idle user processes
I'm looking for some help, please!
I'm trying to kill any idle user processes over 40 Minutes.
I have tried putting TMOUT=2400
within the users .profile
However this does not seem to be working.
We run aix 4.3.3
with ORACLE 7.3
The above works o.k. when the user is only within the unix environment. But if they are connected to oracle it doesn't.
I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanking all in advance

I had issues with processes locking up. This script checks for processes and kills them if they are older than a certain time.
Its uses some functions you'll need to define or remove, like slog() which I use for logging, and is_running() which checks if this script is already running so you can... (0 Replies)

RTPRIO(2) BSD System Calls Manual RTPRIO(2)
NAME
rtprio -- examine or modify a process realtime or idle priority
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/rtprio.h>
int
rtprio(int function, pid_t pid, struct rtprio *rtp);
DESCRIPTION
The rtprio() system call is used to lookup or change the realtime or idle priority of a process.
The function argument specifies the operation to be performed. RTP_LOOKUP to lookup the current priority, and RTP_SET to set the priority.
The pid argument specifies the process to be used, 0 for the current process.
The *rtp argument is a pointer to a struct rtprio which is used to specify the priority and priority type. This structure has the following
form:
struct rtprio {
u_short type;
u_short prio;
};
The value of the type field may be RTP_PRIO_REALTIME for realtime priorities, RTP_PRIO_NORMAL for normal priorities, and RTP_PRIO_IDLE for
idle priorities. The priority specified by the prio field ranges between 0 and RTP_PRIO_MAX (usually 31). 0 is the highest possible prior-
ity.
Realtime and idle priority is inherited through fork() and exec().
A realtime process can only be preempted by a process of equal or higher priority, or by an interrupt; idle priority processes will run only
when no other real/normal priority process is runnable. Higher real/idle priority processes preempt lower real/idle priority processes.
Processes of equal real/idle priority are run round-robin.
RETURN VALUES
The rtprio() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
the error.
ERRORS
The rtprio() system call will fail if
[EINVAL] The specified prio was out of range.
[EPERM] The calling process is not allowed to set the realtime priority. Only root is allowed to change the realtime priority of
any process, and non-root may only change the idle priority of the current process.
[ESRCH] The specified process was not found.
