Kill users with more then 15 minutes idle time

Hi

We have one oracle based application installed on AIX server, our
user's login into AIX server only to use that application. I want to
write a script which should forcefully kill all the users sessions
whose AIX session is idle since more then 15 minutes. By using command
f –i we get mentioned output which gives idle time details of all the
users.

Please advice how can I create a script of command to kill users whose
idle time is more then 15 minutes.

/ >f -i

You might do better with idled:

Why not try who -i. That gives essentially the same information in a
different format, plus their pid.

There are programs that will help, like idled, and you can
cobble something together, but let me mention something that
might be very important...

The idle time shown above, or "who -u", etc, is based solely
on tty activity. If the user "shahidh" above is running a long
job that is cpu bound, but has no keyboard activity, they will
show up as idle. So those 23 minutes of idle time above might
not be idle; they could be doing a large database query or
something else that has no keyboard activity.

Because of this, we wrote (and sell ;-) a product called
LOGMON. This software runs as a daemon to monitor the cpu
usage for each user, and their child processes. That way we
can be sure the user really is idle before logging them off.
You can vary the inactivity time by user, time of day, etc.
You can control how the user is logged off, send warnings, etc.

If this is of interest, send a message to logmon@computron.com
for details or visit www.logmon.com

Thanks!
