Re: Problem with my stubborn users
The problem is that unless the terminal has any I/O, it shows up as idle, even if its a CPU hog. Now, you could of course always watch the cpu time on the processes. or just download idled I recommend sending out a policy statement bout this and locking accounts. trust me, they come around fast enough. What we did was to restrict the amount of users on the system and show up a list of the most idle users just before we hoofed the user trying to login. Now they police themselves. brett Sadikin_Halim@app.co.id wrote: > > Hi guys, > Do me a favour , would you ? > The problem is about my users , almost all of them did not want to logout > after using the terminal ( we use TCP/IP instead of RS/232) so many users > is on the server (we can monitor with command 'who -u' and the time they > are in the server could be 3 -4 hours doing nothing). > The impact is as follows : > - Can't compile C program (error message : "failed to initialize policy > manager IFOR_PM_FATAL ) > - File transfer with FTP is not working ( error message : can't create bad > socket) > - etc. > > By the way my OS is SCO UNIX 5.0.5 with OnLine 5 and I4GL. > > My question is : > How can I create UNIX shell script that automatically check all users and > if found any users with more than certain time doing nothing the script > kill the users by itself. > > By the way my OS is SCO UNIX 5.0.5 with OnLine 5 and I4GL. > Thanks and regards. > > ---------------------- Forwarded by Sadikin Halim/SRG/APP on 12/14/2000 > 05:11 PM --------------------------- > > "Badri N.
