Why do you not configure a CI time-out, so that after a given
inactivity time, the users are logged off?
We have this feature and and an job doing abortjobs/abortio's, and it
does not create problems (except sometimes ghosts sessions, but for the
backup purpose, this is not important as they do not access any files).
