IDLELOGOFF

Description

Similar to IDLEDISC, this parameter specifies the interval since the last input was received from the terminal after which the user is to be logged off IBM Session Manager.

This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

IDLELogoff minutes [AFTERdisc] [DIRECTION IN|INOUT]
   [WARN [Yes|No|ON|OFF]]

Default: IDLELOGOFF 0 DIRECTION IN WARN NO

Usage and subparameters

Specify a value in the range 0-1440 for minutes. 0 means that the automatic logoff does not occur. If any other value is specified, it should be greater than the value used for the IDLEDISC parameter on this statement (unless AFTERDISC is specified on the IDLETYPE subparameter - see below).

In the IBM Session Manager Administration Plug-in (and in OLA), the AFTERDISC option is specified on the IDLETYPE subparameter of IDLELOGOFF.

A user can be logged off even when in a disconnected state.

Note: The IDLEDISC interval and the IDLELOGOFF interval run concurrently, except when the AFTERDISC subparameter is specified, in which case the IDLELOGOFF interval starts when the IDLEDISC interval has expired.

DIRECTION IN|INOUT

This optional subparameter controls whether (activity on) input alone, or on both input and output datastreams will inhibit a timeout. If DIRECTION IN is in effect then the interval counter is not reset by screen updating.

WARN [YES|No|ON|OFF]

If WARN=Yes is in effect, a warning message is issued to the user when the idle interval has expired. If the user presses the Enter key in the next 30 seconds, the forced sign off does not take place.

If WARN=No is specified, sign off takes effect as soon as idle interval expires.

If SHAREDISC or SHARESESS are being used to implement the Shared User Facility (see the Installation and Customization manual), operation of IDLELOGOFF alters slightly:
