RE: Timeout session

The answer is yes - there are two other parms you need to look at too,
the QINACTMSGQ (basically tells system what to do)
and the parm QDSCJOBITV (how long to end disconnected jobs)

Most places I have been at, these are set around the 1 hour time interval.

If you want this to only work for a dial up user, you are going to have to
get more creative.  (IE: write your own disconnected job - program)

You would have to have your dial up users have a specific "range" or prefix
for their workstation id's, and periodically look at active jobs (api or
wrkactjob to *print, pull into a database to read it) and then look at
the joblog for that user (api or dspjoblog to outfile) and see when the
last time was they performed anything (last entry in log)
If too long for you, can the job.

Ok I looked into it ... now does that mean if they are sitting for 5 minutes
not doing anything it will kick them too?  Or if it just can't communicate
tot he client for 5 minutes?  Because we have people that will have a screen
open and not touch it for 10-15 minutes while they look at a file.
