Question How to logout inactive users????
I would like to automatically logout from the system inactive users depending on their functions.

For example there are users that I would like to logout after 15 minutes of inactivity, but there are others that I would like to logout after 30 minutes of inactivity.

It's possible to do this???

Simply build a script that contains the logic to find each user based on what they are running or on their group or whatever your criteria is and kill (see man kill) their children and then the parent.

Search the web for free info on writing shell scripts
(example http://www.shelldorado.com/ )

Learn UNIX commands - the same way or read man pages.

Scripting is only doing what you would do from the command line in a certain order.
