Message-ID: <396@contact.UUCP> Date: 22 Feb 89 12:55:40 GMT Organization: Contact BBS. Lines: 15 I'm running a public-access bbs in a 386 IBM compatable machine (Xenix V2.2) and I have a bit of a problem that I'm sure has been solved before. I need a way to log a shell user off after a set period of time. The timing part is simple, but I have not found a way to remove them and their tasks easily. I was wondering if there was a function or utility that I missed, or if anyone out there has written anything to this end. Please e-mail to me if you have any suggestions.
