How do you put ksh for timing out when a session has been idle for 10 minutes and putting the session onto the user's home i.e. jdoe:prod1:/home/jdoe&gt; ? &nbsp;<br />
This should be active when a user su - root.<br />
When it is on the user's home i.e. jdoe:prod1:/home/jdoe&gt;, there is no need to put ksh for timing out.<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
