One of our customers has asked us if it is possible to logoff webtop
sessions when the webtop session and emulator sessions have been idle
for a particular time.
Does anyone has any experience with this and can help me with
answering the customers question?
My initial thoughts for this are:
All emulator sessions are to a windows terminal server. It is
possible to set an idle timeout on the RDP connection. This idle
timeout can be used to disconnect/end the emaulator sessions.
Then write a script on the SSGD server to:
- create a list of all users with an webtop session and no emulator
session running.
something like in pseudo code
tarantella webtopsession list | grep User | awk print 'TNF name'
for each 'TNF name'
if (tarantella emulatorsession list --person 'TNF name'
--format count == 0)
if ('TNF name' is in 'idle user file')
add 'something' behind the 'TNF name' in 'idle
user file'
else
add 'TNF name' to 'idle user file'
else
remove 'TNF name' from 'idle user file'
- logoff users when the user is idle for 5 minutes
something like in pseudo code
for each 'TNF name' in idle user file'
if (count('something' behind 'TNF name' in 'idle user file') >
4)
tarantella webtopsession logout 'TNF name'
This script can be placed in a crontab to run every minute
This script uses too much tarantella commands, but that can be
minimized by using files to store the output of the tarantella
commands in a file/memory.
I have not started to create this script because I wanted to ask you
all to share your input and maybe we can help Sun to create something
like an Idle Timeout function in the product :)
Thanks,
Remold
