David, Henry:

In my original testiing it seemed ineffective, with the following
occurring if running our menu program in my testing:

Your program has aborted from the application
  Please contact your system administrator
Enter Q to log out or any key to continue=

Just hitting the Enter key puts you right back into the menu, no actual
logout, so it didn't do what we wanted.

But, perhaps I was too hasty.

Putting AUTOLOGOUT 180 in the LOGIN record in the VOC would implement it
each time a user logged in, but how do you set it up globally?  

Many thanks-
Harold

Harold,

Is there any reason you don't use the UV command AUTOLOGOUT to time out
idle sessions? 

It does what you want already from within UV already (and can be setup
individually or globally for all UV sessions) and doesn't have the
problem of just looking at terminal keyboard input idle time like the
UNIX who command does.

Regards
David

Thanks to all who made suggestions.  I'm definitely going to use some of
them to improve processing. 

Good news: Universe is not at fault!  

So why did the process just end?  Because a background process we run
logs out processes idle for more than 3 hours.  To determine idle time
we check the 7th column of the output from the unix command "who -HTR".
Here was the surprise for me:  even though the process was furiously
performing I/O, as far as that unix command was concerned, it was idle.
Oops! Easy to fix that, of course.

The best parts of this were that UniVerse came through as more robust
than I had worried it wasn't, and that contributors gave me some great
advice.

Thanks again to all.
Harold Oaks
