Kill Idle User Sessions

In this example, we kill idle user sessions--inactive user logins.

The KillIdleUserSession script shown below does its work silently, and sends no alert messages.  You could add rules to send alert messages, if you want to.  (Also note that all kill commands are always logged.)

The script follows.

KillIdleUserSession

        init
                status =piktstatus
                level =piktlevel
                task "Terminate idle user sessions"
                input proc "\=w | \=awk '/[1-9]days/ {gsub("/","\\\\/");
                                         print $1 " " $2}'"
                dat $user 1
                dat $tty 2

        rule
                exec wait "\=kill -9 `\=ps -aux |
                           \=awk '/$user.+$tty/ {print \$2}'`"
