We have AUTOLOGOUT in every user's VOC entry.  It doesn't result in a
"clean" exit from whatever they're sitting in, but the vast majority of
our programs are written well enough that either a transaction will get
rolled back or things won't be left in a partially done state.  There
are some exceptions, and I handle those with cleanup code executed by
the UV ON.EXIT VOC entry that always gets executed when a session
terminates.  That works well provided you know what might need to be
cleaned up 100% of the time.

Have you thought of using AUTOLOGOUT in your VOC LOGIN paragraph. 
AUTOLOGOUT nn - where nn is a number of minutes Or AUTOLOGOUT 0 to turn
it off

I'll try here in hopes some of you are using SB+/SBClient

We are having an issue where we are using all of our licenses by midday.

Our current procedure is to send out a broadcast e-mail asking those who
are not using the application to log off SBClient.

We believe that what is happening is that certain PCs on the shop floor
have SBClient started; some activity recorded and then the user walks
away from the workstation leaving the particular screen open.

I have been asked to inquire if there is a way I can write a C# program
to be installed on certain (shop floor) PCs to log SBClient activity
(keystrokes?) with a timestamp.  This program would then read the last
activity timestamp, compare it to the current time and if the interim is
greater than a certain number of minutes execute a series of Escape
strokes to back the app out to the close screen and thus free up
licenses.

Has anybody attempted this?  If so can you share what you did?

Thanks.
