Operating Systems Linux Is it possible to set timeout on Linux screen session Post 303010946 by prvnrk on Wednesday 10th of January 2018 02:23:26 PM

Thanks jim.

But unfortunate this doesn't help me as I always have something running on my sessions (they are not idle to use TMOUT option). Basically I need my sessions to be killed automatically (forcibly) in case I don't attach to that screen session within certain time (like 12 hours or so). I guess this is more specific to "screen" feature i guess (based on it's man page there seems to be no such option), but if we could setup some alternative way to achieve it would be great.

Best,

NAME
screen-ir -- Interactively Reattach to GNU Screen sessions SYNOPSIS
screen-ir [additional screen options ...] DESCRIPTION
screen-ir uses iSelect(1) to interactively reattach to running screen sessions. Use the screen option -d or -D if you want to reattach to attached screen sessions. Use the screen option -x if you want to attach to screen sessions without detaching them. FILES
screen-ir sources ~/.screen-irrc if it exists. It recognizes two variables: The contents of SCREEN_OPTIONS is given to screen(1) as command-line options. Default is -r. Use e.g. -rd if you always want to reattach to already attached screen sessions. The contents of ISELECT_OPTIONS is given to iselect(1) as command-line options. Default is empty. Use e.g. -f if you always want to see the interactive selection, even if there's only one screen session running, i.e. you have no choice. AUTHOR
