You may not want someone who has grabbed the console to
get bumped off either.

Please add: HPLDEVIN = HPCONSOLE.

Someone has already mentioned the HPTIMEOUT CI variable, which can
be set in an OPTION LOGON UDC.  This variable cannot exceed the
timeout value set in SYSGEN (or is it the Security Monitor?).  Your
logon UDC can also be selective. For example:

SYSLOGON
OPTION LOGON, NOBREAK, NOHELP
# This is the system logon UDC
...
if HPINTERACTIVE and HPLDEVIN <> 20 then
   setvar HPTIMEOUT 15
endif
...

With the above UDC you would not need to set a value in SYSGEN; however,
please note that any user can modify their own HPTIMEOUT value if they
have access to the CI and they are aware of its existence.
