Hi, Jacques and Craig, RE: > Just tested it and it works like a charm. I used the global Indeed. This is a good work-around. Probably a temporary solution till I find out something more robust. The current flaws are: - the users can override this with personal .bashrc or profile (although if they override it, then they already know what they are doing, and there may be a reason for this) - there is no system logging of "timeout happened". Maybe one could manipulate with ~/.bash_logout, i.e. if the user is logged out exactly $TMOUT seconds after last activity (shown by w, who), then we consider the logout as one due to inactivity. Cheers Gaspar
