Thanks for clearing this up for me Alan. They are conducting a security audit and are asking a lot of questions and since I have not had my VM system that long some of things they are asking for I have not had the opportunity to experience as of yet.

In a configuration file of the tool/program you are using to monitor idle users (as CP does not automatically force idle users). Since you specifically call out CMS users, beware that the tool will likely not know whether it is CMS or or not, so if you have guests that shouldn't be forced, you will need some sort of exception list. (Forcing the OPERATOR is generally a bad idea.) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
