I work with Ubuntu 10.04 and the 3 lines of code does in fact disconnect my user. I modified the .bashrc file in the home directory. Thanks! Thanks for posting the timeout instructions.

I mean I do not want user1 to be idle for more than, say, 5 minutes, but it is alright if user2 stays idle for an hour or so. Is it possible to execute it?

Not sure if it will solve all your issues but it sure is nice to have that in one place. If you’re running debian check out timeoutd.

It will not, since the client will keep sending null packets to the server, so it will never seem like the client is idle. Thanks, Shrirang. Danesh,

I connect to the remote computer via ssh and I am being log out after certain time if I stop working. I checked the /etc/bashrc and /etc/csh.cshrc files in remote computer, and ~.bashrc and ~.cshrc files in my local computer but I could not find anything about the log out time. Where is this log out time hidden? Thanks. This is helpful. what is the equivalent variable for c shell?
