auto kill script
Hi,
I have created a shell script which is used by many users to change their password/unlock, etc., via menu. There is possibility users just close the putty window without proper exit from menu.
I want a solution so that if anybody forgets to stop that session, it should kill automatically itself after x amount of time. Or any point of time if it is waiting for long for user input it should automatically kill the session after x amount of time.
Shell is written in ksh and we are running it on Solaris 10.
Any thoughts??
