Hi, appologies if this has already been posted - I did seach but couldn't find an exact match for my criteria.
Also, I think it's best to point out that I'm a complete newbie to Unix so you may have to explain any suggestions a little
Anyways, I'm running a Unixware 7.1.1 box which runs only 1 user accessed database. The problem is that some users sit idle for hours while others can't log in due to licencing restrictions. Currently I'm using who -u to find the process ID and killing them off, this is very time consuming and I need to find a way to auto kill idle processes after say, 30 minutes.
But, I also need to maintain a list of users whose processes are NOT killed off. Most users are casual, read only users but you can imagine the problems I would have if I start killing off users who are editing the database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Paulo
