Question logoff idle user script
Will someone please share a script with me that will read in each line of the who -u output and if idle time is more than 50 min, execute a kill on the PID? This is what I have so far:

who -u | cut -c 40-56

I am comfortable in the korn shell, but I can broaden my horizons if you've got something fabulous. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you do a search for kill and idle, you should find that there are scripts posted already such as

And personnally, I would go with
who -u |awk '{print $1" "$6}'
to get both the idle time and who it belongs to.

Be careful of duplicate sign-ons, root account, cron jobs, ....

Autologout... this worked
Stopudt is a unidata (database) command that issues a kill -15 I believe to let things finish writing.


#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
# Logs users out that have been idle for 20 or more minutes.


UDTBIN=/usr/ud51/bin
UDTHOME=/usr/ud51

export UDTBIN
export UDTHOME


/usr/ud51/bin/stopudt `who -u | sed -e "s/\./0/" -e "s/://g" | awk '$6 > 20 {pri
nt $7}'`
