Hi,

The environment variable to set the idleout under linux is
TMOUT. We wanted to set this to 30 minutes. So

export TMOUT=1800

This works. But our problem is when some package is loaded
on the node this does not work which is correct thing. When
a package is loaded some work is going on hence idleout does
not work. But we want to terminate after 30 minutes if no
key is pressed during this period. Many users just load the
package but don't do any work on that node, is such cases
after 30 minutes the user should be automatically logged
out. This works with TMOUT only if the user is at the shell
prompt. But here we are not giving access to shell, from
their bashrc the package is loaded and on exiting the
package they get the login prompt back hence our problem.

How can this be accomplished under linux ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
