idle processes

[Guest_imported]

Is there any way to determine what processes or ttys are idle for a specific period of time. I have tried using the who -u and the finger command, then using awk to return the idle time, which works fine. My problem is when a program is running a report that does not use any terminal IO, the idle time increase past the specified time, causing it to be killed it the middle of the run.

and you will need to increase your timeouts ... but why you do this - patch your system, it releases terminal after login in later release
