No. >And I also noticed that ash has no timeouts in the source at all. Completely normal. >I can code an idle timeout into ash, but I wanted to check... Please don't. Idle timeouts are always implemented outside the shell. Otherwise, consider how one can circumvent them by typing something highly secret, like "ed". (Pick your favorite interactive tool here.) The idle timeout program (and I forget the name of the common one) just watches the TTY accessed times, and if they stop moving they kill the session. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
