[RBASE-L] - RE: Managing Network Users/Connections

[Dan Champion]

Exactly,
  I used it here for that reason, and the users just learned to leave a 
form open when they left so they didn't get booted out. Very 
frustrating.  I have still not found a good way to get them to get out of 
the database before they go home. If they forget, then they stay in all night.

SET TIMEOUT 60 only works if they are not in a form or report, etc...
Almost useless for a lot of situations.

You might want to try "set timeout 60" which will boot them out of R:base

    Hi - First time responding to a message for me.  And I'm still using
    Rbase 6.1 for Dos, so this may not be possible in your version.  But
    I'm dealing with the same nonsense with users not logging out or
    turning off the PC without getting out of Rbase.
    I haven't done this yet, but am planning to change the users 
menus.     Each menu option will:
      1st) Connect to the database
     2nd) Do whatever the menu option is supposed to do
     3rd) Disconnect from the database
    This way, at least if they go back to the menu, they'll be
    disconnected and I can do whatever I want to the database on the
    weekend.  It still doesn't solve the problem of them staying at a
    data-entry screen though.

        Is there a way to see who is/how many users are CONNECTed to an
        RBase database.  Fm the "old" days, wasn't there an RBADMIN.EXE
        or something like that?  Maybe my mind is gapping due to age or
        maybe dealing w/storm damage, but I can't find anything now
        that'll let me see this info and/or DISCONNECT a specific
        User_Name/ALL ...
        Any help on this or related to this is greatly appreciated.

        Thanks,
        Steve in Memphis
