Force Citrix LOGOFF via Command Line or Script

[Rondrian]

hi,
it doesn't seems to be a really big problem but it is:

how could i script to LOGOFF a citrix user from the client side??

- the pnagent.exe doesn't seem to have command line options..
- wfcrun32.exe could only start a session...
- vbs or wsh scripts (icaclient API) works only if i do the connect also via script and not via the pnagent...

has anyone a tip for me?

big thanks!!

We had a problem with our clients on Mac OSX not logging off and eating up a license. We fixed it by enabling ICA Keep-Alive. I set it to 60 seconds, so if our clients disconnect from the network for more than 60 seconds, their session is ended and they are logged off, freeing the license again.

no that isn't possible for us, because the citrix logoff timeout is globally set for all users to 2 hours and cannot be changed for single users (at least this is what our citrix admin says..)!

we need the logoff from the CLIENTSIDE (and it seems that only the fu** PNAgent could do that via GUI)!

Yes, you are correct. It's global. But for us, that's OK. We have a lot of idiots here who can't seem to follow any proceedures, so we had to make Citrix shut down their session automatically.
