NSCM & session timeout

Hi,

With NSCM, the current session will hibernate (sleep) after a period of time & present a login screen on the Sun Ray. Is it possible to prevent this from happening or alternatively, automatically logoff the session after some predefined time of no activity?

Thanks,

Brian.

Hi,

Students are doing a Ctrl-Moon (Soft Reset) when they leave their Sun Ray so that a login screen is presented for the next user and their session is still running on the server. With 50 Sun Rays and 200 students on an X4200 (Solaris10, SRSS4, 16GB ram, heaps of swap) the load on the server (usually 110 sessions), is getting heavy. Is there a way to disable the Ctrl-Moon key sequence, or the Soft Reset 'kill' the X-session?

The docs only mention utdetach & utsettings Hot Key values.

Thanks,

Brian.

There's no way to disable the Control-Power combination.You could arrange to have a 'utaction' process run in each login session and have it do something to the session if the session remains detached from a Sun Ray for some period of time.

xlockmore (you probably will need to download and compile) I believe has automatic logout. The alternative (which we settled on at our site after trying NSCM) is to disable NSCM so users have to logout to free the Sun Ray.

Thanks for the help.

I decided to disable NSCM on student servers & that will be a solution for the time being.

It would be a great feature to have the ability to enable/disable ctrl-moon & ctrl-alt-b/space(x2) key sequences (by the admin) as needed.

At least now the students save their work, close apps & logoff correctly - which they should have done previously - but - well, whatever!!!

Regards,

Brian.
