hi..<br />
<br />
I have read about lock command which locks your AIX's terminal asking for password, but wanted to ask here if someone have joined this command and the known variable TMOUT in order to lock your terminal when idle... is it possible on AIX?<br />
<br />
Thanks

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.
