RE: inactive time-out on telnet

["Martin, Booth" <BoothM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

oh, that makes sense.  What I did here was to build a new subsystem for
telnet only.  All telnets come to this subsystem, only.  It has it's own
screen an 'everythin'.  But then we can shut down the subsystem and start it
at will.  (Telnet users seem to keep weird hours.)

Booth-
        Technically, just the jobs.  We accomplish this on the SNA and green
screens via the QINACTITV system value.  The time mark time out value in the
telnet attributes tells the session to signal the 400, effectively making
the job appear as 'active'.  At least, that's what I've been able to glean
from the archives of midrange-l.  It would explain why these sessions never
die.

        Terry, which do you need to close?  The telnet sessions, or the
jobs?  

        There'd be no reason to close down sign-on screens since no
production files
        are locked with just a sign-on screen up.  What I am driving at is
that I'm
        thinking you want to shut down jobs, not telnet connections.  The
problem
        you describe of locked files would happen whether they are on Client
Access
        Express, SNA, or a regular twin-ax line wouldn't it?
