Putty Session Timeout

Hi,

I had add the following line into .profile and .bash_profile for the timeout session to avoid putty close automatically :

timeout=10800

However, i still keep encounter session time out every after 60 seconds.

Can anyone please help advice.

Many Thanks!

Hi,

I have tried to use TMOUT as variable before and the results are still the same.

But now i got the workout already as intsead append the variable TMOUT in the middle of the .profile, i had append it to the top of the file as first line in the .profile.
My putty had stay more than 60secs as according to the TMOUT i had specified.

Thanks.
