Default Re: Auto Kill Idle Sessions

Thanks Michael, that's a good idea. would you know how crontabs should look
like for a reboot at say 10:00pm? I'll figure out loading programs at boot,

I still have to kick users off the system during daytime when they're
inactive for over an hour for obvious security concerns. HR is not
cooperating :-(
Thanks once more.
