We have a value of TMOUT=600 (10 Minutes) in both our Linux and USS environments. We are required to terminate inactive sessions for all of our environments, including CICS and TSO.

I'm wondering if anybody uses the TMOUT environment variable to time out shell users? I have a z/OS background and am used to my interactive TSO session timing out after about 15 minutes of non use. Do UNIX people even care about this? Or do you use some sort of cron to force idle shell users off the system. If you don't force off idle shell users, what about people who just up and leave at the end of the day without logging off?
