IDLEOUT(ADM)                         UNIX System V



     Name
          idleout - logs out idle users


     Syntax
          idleout [ minutes | hours:minutes ]


     Description
          The idleout command monitors  line  activity  and  logs  out
          users  whose  terminal  remains idle longer than a specified
          period of time.  Minutes are assumed; if a colon appears  in
          the number, hours are assumed.

          The utility uses a default  file,  /etc/default/idleout,  to
          indicate  the  interval  a  user's  terminal may remain idle
          before being logged out. This file has one entry:

               IDLETIME=time

          The time format is identical to that  used  on  the  command
          line.   The time specified in the default file is overridden
          by idletime if idletime is specified on  the  command  line.
          Note  that,  if  idletime is zero, no monitoring takes place
          and idle users are not  logged  out.   You  can  either  run
          idleout  ffrom  the  command  line,  or,  to have continuous
          coverage,   you   must   add    the    program    name    in
          /etc/rc.d/8/userdef  to  see  to  it that the program is run
          each time the system is rebooted.
