Is it possible to set timeout on Linux screen session
Hello friends,
I work on Linux servers via SSH (putty) and run "screen" to preserve my sessions so I can attach/detach them at anytime I wish without losing the connectivity/process disruption which is working perfectly fine.
As my team members also have root access to those servers, it is very much possible for them to attach "MY" sessions and can see what I'm doing. Is there anyway I can't allow them to do that? To solve this issue (upto some extent), setting a time-out on my sessions would help a bit. In other words, is it possible to set a timeout on screen session within which I should re-attach (after detaching) the screen session with 12 hours (for eg timeout set to 12 hours) else that screen session should be auto-killed. Any thoughts on tailoring this requirement would be great.
Many thanks!

Friends,
Could anyone let me know - how to set the timeout value for ssh session to HMC? My HMC version is -- V7R7.4.0. I'm sure the version doesn't have anything to do with it.

NAME
sb2-session - manage scratchbox2 sessions
SYNOPSIS
sb2-session [COMMAND [PARAMS]]
DESCRIPTION
sb2-session is used to create attachable scratchbox2 sessions. You can save session even when you haven't done '-S session' during sb2
startup.
Note that you can give parameters to attach command which are passed verbatim to sb2. If there is only one session to attach, it is
selected automatically.
If no command is given, help text is printed.
COMMANDS
help shows help text
save saves current session
list lists detached sb2 sessions
delete SESSION
deletes given session
attach [SESSION [PARAMS]]
attaches to a given session
setenv VARIABLE VALUE
store a value for an environment variable
showenv
show stored environment variables
EXAMPLES
Basic usage is:
[SB2 .. ] $ sb2-session save # save session
[SB2 .. ] $ ^D # exit
Later we can then attach to this session:
% sb2-session attach
If there are more than one saved session, then:
% sb2-session list
session.XXXX TARGET_ARM My Comment
session.YYYY TARGET_ARM My Comment 2
session.ZZZZ TARGET_MIPS
% sb2-session attach session.YYYY
Here we pass '-eR' to sb2 and we only have one saved session:
% sb2-session attach -- -eR
'--' marks end of parameter list for sb2-session.
setenv VARIABLE VALUE can be used to add environment variables, that will become active when a saved session is later taken into use
(either by sb2-session attach or by sb2 -J).
setenv VARIABLE VALUE does not change environment of sessions that are already active.
showenv lists environment variable settings which have been stored with this tool. It does not show environment variables from other
sources.
