>Subject: Idle DM shutdown script
>
>I wrote this little script to keep all our DM licenses from being "locked"
by
>folks who called up remote DMs on their PCs and left them up during coffee
>breaks, vacations, etc. It prefs the values of PICK1 (currently selected
C:B:P)
>and ST0 (name of current display) periodically to see if the remote DM user
has
>done anything in the DM window. It is crude but fairly effective.
>
>It is a ksh script, run in the background, so you invoke it like this:
>
>nohup kill_idle_dm.sh 2>&1 >/dev/null &
>
>There are several variables that control the script's operation
>
>DELAY - number of seconds between checks for "idle" DMs
>DM_INACT_LIMIT - number of times a DM can appear "idle" before the script
kills
>it
>DMNAMES - names of DMs to monitor
>MYNAME - the string used in the "killed by" message the user gets when the
DM is
>killed
>
>I tried to comment the script to this effect as well.
>
>If anyone has any questions, they can e-mail me at clingoc@xxxxxxxxx
