Hi,
in a followup to my summary on Idledaemon, the following was also received
from randy_at_computron.com (Randy Styka):
>As far as I know, idled will not work on Digital Unix. But our
>company ran into problems with it on different platforms anyway.
>One of the biggest problems is that it uses the Unix definition
>of idle users, which is based on keyboard activity.
>Our company wrote (and sells) a program called LOGMON that
>monitors cpu usage for each user and their child processes. Thus
>we won't log off a user running a cpu bound job with no keyboard
>activity. LOGMON also lets you vary the inactivity time by user,
>time of day, tty, etc. You can control how a user is logged off.
>For more details, send a message to logmon_at_computron.com. Thanks!

While I have found that for the usage I need, idled works, I am sure there
are others who need the functionality offered by the above product.
