Patti: Are you using the TIMEOUT setting? This might accomplish your purpose.
Per the comments in R:BASE Help: "Use TIMEOUT to shut down an inactive R:BASE workstation and exit to Windows after a set amount of time passes. A countdown only begins when R:BASE is waiting for a keystroke--not while R:BASE is processing commands or while you are entering data. This is a useful feature for automatically disconnecting idle R:BASE sessions for scheduled database maintenance. " If you add something like SET TIMEOUT 60 command to a user's startup file it will cause R:BASE to exit after 60 minutes if there is no KEYBOARD activity. Maybe that will help.

Would resetting the server help in this instance? Thanks. Patti --- On Thu, 6/23/11, A. Razzak Memon <[email protected]> wrote: From: A.

When these users end their session, the exit the application and logout. But Rbase thinks they are still connected. I noticed that if I click on the "disconnect" menu option, Rbase will show one less user connected. So I know how to fix this problem from now on. > > But how do I disconnect all these connections that are no longer even ther?. Legacy versions of Rbase had some way to force disconnections.
