Prakash,
I don't know if you ever got a satisfactory answer to this question.  I
will offer an explanation just in case.  I'm not sure it was clear to
everyone that you were referring to the LOGOFF program that is supplied
with VESoft's Security/3000 product.  The LOGOFF process uses the PAUSE
intrinsic to avoid consuming excessive CPU resources.  It spends most of
its time in a paused state, and wakes up periodically to see if any
sessions have exceeded the TIMEOUT limit.  By default, the pause time is
five minutes.  If you have a process that reaches the limit shortly
after one of these wake-up events, it will be nearly five minutes before
LOGOFF checks again.

You can modify the pause time by using the $PAUSETIME parameter in the
LOGOFF.DATA.VESOFT file.

Subject: Time Difference for LOGOFF

Hi All,

We have implemented the time out feature in our application using the
following entries in LOGOFF.DATA.VESOFT

$TIMEOUT 600
$USERS INCLUDE @.<Accountname>
$PROGRAMS INCLUDE <Prognames>.<Groupname>.<Accountname>
$MESSAGE "** ABORTED DUE TO LACK OF ACTIVITY **"

The Session is aborting but have a small discrepency in the time.
Actually the timeout is set for 10 Minutes. But when in idle the session
is not aborting exactly after 10 minutes. The session abort is occuring
some time after it.

Can someone let me know the reason why it is happening so. Does the
Session being in Quiet Mode does any affect to logoff time period?
One more to ask, after aborting the session iam seeing thebusy icon (red
lock) at the status screen. After doing soft Reset (ALT + S) it is
getting cleared. How to avoid the busy icon and to get the normal
Session Abort.


Thanks in Advance,

Warm Regards
Prakash.
