Setting Timeout for Xterm Sessions
Hi! Experts,

Could someone tell me how to set a time out for xterm users.. I have set TMOUT which logs out telnet users after sometime..

The users here use exceed to connect to Xterm server. So, it doesnt kill xterm windows that have not been used even for 7 days..

Is there any work around, so that any xterm window which is not used for a few hours is killed by itself?

Currently the only option I have is to kill the old processes manually or restsrt the server once a week..

Smilie

Try this thread - I don't believe there is a value you could set to have the system kill off xterminals automatically (unless it were on the console of the system - then xautolock seems to be a good suggestion).
