Greetings
        I did receive few responses about my query for limiting the
        interactive login process to about xxxx seconds. In essence,
        it can be done directly, but there were suggestions as to how
        it can be made possible.
        
        Thanks to:

        The suggestions were:
        
        [1]
        
        . work with the user community to try and limit themselves.

        [2]

        . Under DU 4.0, there is "account manager" which lets you limit
          the interactive session cpu usage time, but not sure whether
          this would work with/interfere batch jobs?

        [3]

        .Try limit -h cputime, ulimit builtin commands...

        ( Even if I put the limits in the global "profile" files, I would
          face the same problems regarding "batch" jobs. Am I right? )

        cheers
