NAME

       autolog - Log out idle users

SYNOPSIS

       autolog [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       The program reads the utmp file, entry by entry.  The username for each 'user process' is compared to the entries in the configuration file
       (see autolog.conf(5) ).	The first entry to match both the name, the group, and the tty line of the process will be  used  to  conduct  the
       automatic logout.

CALL

       /etc/init.d/autolog start
       or
       autolog
	      to run this program in daemon-mode

       autolog -o
	      to  run  this  program as "ordinary" program.  Keep in mind: Also when running as ordinary program, it will stay in memory until all
	      its jobs are done.

OPTIONS

       -a     (all processes) Print information on ALL utmp entries--not just user processes.

       -d     (debug mode) This is helpful in setting up your configuration file.  The program runs in	foreground  rather  than  forking  and	it
	      prints out verbose messages about what it is doing.

       -n     (nokill)	Use  this  to  prevent	autolog from actually "killing" anyone. Use -d and -n together when setting up a new configuration
	      file.  ( This will not affect killing of lost processes. )

       -o     (ordinary) Use this to run this program as ordinary program, not as daemon. Program will end, when its job is done.  In  this  case,
	      some data is kept in "/var/lib/autolog/autolog.data". This is read, when the program is called again.

       -f config_file_name
	      Use this to override the default: "/etc/autolog.conf"

       -l log_file_name
	      Use this to override the default: "/var/log/autolog.log".  Note that if this file doesn't exist, no logging will happen.	Create the
	      file (with touch) to enable logging.

       -t idle_time
	      Use this to override the internal default idle time (minutes)

       -g grace_period
	      Use this to override the internal default grace period (seconds)

       -m yes/no
	      Use this to override the internal mailing switch.  If "yes" the program will send mail to the users right after killing them.

       -c yes/no
	      Use this to override the internal "pre-clear" switch.  If "yes" the program will clear the terminal screen before warning the user.

       -w yes/no
	      Do timeouts based on total session time--not idle time. (hard)

       -l yes/no
	      If set to "yes" activities will be written to the logfile if present.

NAME

       whowatch - console, interactive, process and users monitoring tool.

DESCRIPTION

       Whowatch  is an console, interactive users and process monitoring tool.	It displays information about the users currently logged on to the
       machine, in real-time.  Besides standard informations (login name, tty, host, user's process), the type of the connection  (ie.	telnet	or
       ssh)  is  shown.  Display of users command line can be switch to tty idle time.	Certain user can be selected and his processes tree may be
       viewed as well as tree of all system processes. Tree may be displayed with additional column that shows owner  of  each	process.   In  the
       process	tree  mode SIGINT and SIGKILL signals can be sent to the selected process. Killing processes is just as simple and fun as deleting
       lines on the screen.

       Whowatch has no command line options or configuration file.  All actions are performed in real time by pressing following keys:

       Users list mode:

       'up' 'down'
	      cursor movement

       'i'    toggle between user command line and idle time

       'c'    full command line on/off. Disabling full command line can save CPU time.	It can give you also  some  additional	information  about
	      process executable.

       'enter'
	      view selected user's processes tree.

       't'    all system processes (init tree)

       Tree mode:

       'up' 'down'
	      cursor movement

       'enter'
	      go back to users list

       'o'    show processes owners

       'c'    full  command  line  on/off.  Disabling full command line can save CPU time.  It can give you also some additional information about
	      process executable.

       'Ctrl-I'
	      send INT signal to selected process

       'Ctrl-K'
	      send KILL signal to selected process

PLUGINS

       Whowatch has ability to load plugin during program run.	Plugin prints information inside details window.  Plugins  gives  flexibility:	if
       some specific information about process, user or system is needed then separate program could be written to obtain such information.  Since
       there are three kinds of deatils window (process, user and system) maximum three plugins can be loaded.	Whowatch has very  simple  API	to
       write plugins.

FILES

       Program	reads  /var/log/wtmp, /var/run/utmp. Under Linux program also reads files from /proc directory. Without read access to these files
       whowatch funcionality will be limited or program will not even start.

SEE ALSO

       finger(1) ps(1), pstree(1), top(1), w(1), lsof(8), kill(1) killall(1)

BUGS

       Because lack of ut_pid in utmp and wtmp structures in *BSD systems, program tries to obtain pid of a login  shell  by  analizing  processes
       controlling terminal and processes names. Under some conditions it may lead to incorrect results ie. there will be incorrect processes tree
       associated with user's session.
