Hello All;
IDL licenses are more valuable than gold in my department and right
now, next years budget looks pretty flat. I was hoping that one of the ways
we could
maximize our licenses would be to have some sort of session timeout that
would automatically log users out after a pre-determined idle time. However,
I do not see an easy way to do that. Is there something I missed? Does
anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
FSD

This should be easy to implement as a script which parses the output of:
$IDL_DIR/bin/lmstat -f idl
and then uses:
$IDL_DIR/bin/lmremove feature user host display
to drop them. Just run the script in a cron job every 10min or so, and
use lmremove to oust all checkouts older than, e.g., 12hrs. Optionally
send an email or message to the user first, warning them they are going to
be disconnected.

Reimar,
flexlm does have a timeout feature, but it has to be programmed for use in
the software, i.e. IDL. The manual says contact vendor to check whether
feature is implemented. IMHO, there is little incentive for a vendor to
implement this, but asking does not hurt I guess.

Probably you could do this on the license sever.
