Also, any modifications made to the user's .bashrc or .bash_profile can be undone by the user any time in the one hour available to him. So, the modifications should be made to the system-wide /etc/profile file. This file, along with the user's own .bash_profile and .bashrc are read in during every login.
Here's an outline of what _probably_ has to be added in /etc/profile in order to achieve what Prosun desires:
1. The process-id of the user's login shell has to be obtained.
2. A shell script has to be started in the background and given this process-id. This background process will sleep for 1 hr (Abhijit's sleep 3600) and, on waking up, will kill the process whose process-id it knows.
Even then, clever users may be able to get around this.
Would others like to share their ideas too?
