Jim,



You can set the HPTIMEOUT variable to the number of minutes of inactivity. If I remember correctly, the session will logoff if the user is sitting idle at the CI prompt. If they are waiting in a program (a menu, a user app, a tool), the timeout will not happen. For these situations, you likely need an extra piece of software such as VEsoft's Security or write your own monitoring tool. I believe there was something called "bouncer" in the contributed library (cobwebs and dust off) which may be nearly impossible to find. Allegro may have something in their toolbox.



Good luck.



François
