Hi,

I have a modem on HP-UX 10 and users can logon by dial-in. My problem is: I want to set an idle time for the user who is logon from the modem. I can set an ENV TMOUT=xxx inside $HOME/.profile to do that but there is a group of users who are sharing the same home directory using the same .profile and I can't set the TMOUT to apply all of them but only want to apply on one user in that group who is using the modem for logon. How can I do that? Shell script or AT commands? Any hints?

Jack

Does the output of the command tty identify a modem user ? A telnet login looks like

$ tty
/dev/pts/ta

I could see conditional checking in a case statement something like:

case `tty` in
/dev/pts/* ) echo "telnet" ;;
/dev/cua* | /dev/cul* | /dev/ttyd* | /dev/tty* ) TMOUT=xxx ; export TMOUT ;;
esac
