Killing Idle session
Post 3503 by ajg on Wednesday 4th of July 2001 07:41:31 AM

By session, I take it you mean a normal login session through the likes of ssh or telnet?...
Luckily this can all be done through environment variables... For example:
To kill the session after 15 minutes idle...
For CSH and TCSH:
# set auto_logout=15
For BASH:
# set TMOUT=900
These wait for N secs/mins after issuing the primary prompt before terminating the session.
Put those in your .cshrc, .bashrc or /etc/profile
Hope that helps...

gnome-session
GNOME(1) General Commands Manual GNOME(1) gnome-session - Starts up the GNOME desktop environment SYNOPSIS
gnome-session [--choosesession] [--failsafe] [--purge-delay=DELAY] [--warn-delay=DELAY] [--suicide-delay=DELAY] [session-name] DESCRIPTION
The gnome-session program starts up the GNOME desktop environment. This command is typically executed by your login manager (either gdm, xdm, or from your X startup scripts). It will load either your last session, or it will provide a default session for the user as defined by the system administrator (or the default GNOME installation on your system). You can optionally specify a specific session name to restore. gnome-session is an X11R6 session manager. It can manage GNOME applications as well as any X11R6 SM compliant. gnome-session uses the contents of the ~/.gnome/session file for starting up as specified by the "Current Sesssion" key in the ~/.gnome/session-options file. Various default values are provided in case the file entry does not exist. If the session file does not exist, gnome-session will use the contents of the /usr/share/gnome/default.session file. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --choose-session=ARG User can specify a session to load, as opposed to the session specified in the ~/.gnome/session-options file. If that entry does not exist in the ~/.gnome/session file (or if that file doesn't exist), it will use the default session and all saves to that session will be to the new session name. --failsafe Fail safe operations mode: only reads saved sessions from the default.session file. --purge-delay=ARG The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to register, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 30,000 milliseconds). --warn-delay=ARG The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to respond, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 10,000 milliseconds). --suicide-delay=ARG The number of millisecond that gnome-session will wait for clients to die, if you use 0 it will wait forever (default value: 10,000 milliseconds). ENVIRONMENT
gnome-session accepts all of the standard environment variables used by gnome programs, other than the SESSION_MANAGER environment vari- able. [ xref to a manpage where this is documented. ] gnome-session also sets several environment variables for the use of its child pro- cesses. SESSION_MANAGER This variable is used by session-manager aware clients to contact gnome-session. DISPLAY This variable is set to the X display being used by gnome-session. Note that if the --display option is used this might be different from the setting of the environment variable when gnome-session is invoked. SEE ALSO
