     IDLEOUT(ADM)             XENIX System V              IDLEOUT(ADM)



     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 from 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.

     Files
          /etc/default/idleout
          /etc/utmp
          /etc/wtmp
