We currently have a large application written with Universe BASIC and Menus. is there a way to set a global timeout value for user input? This is an audit requirement.

Sandy,
I believe the command you are looking for is AUTOLOGOFF. ( edited: Woops, link is correct, not the command name, should have been AUTOLOGOUT )
Note that you can put it in he LOGIN paragraph, so it will be set for everyone.

The command is actually AUTOLOGOUT.
You can specify an inactivity time in minutes which will cause the process to be logged out if exceeded.

Thank you. it appears to be working but the only issue I have is that it brings me to the linux prompt. We would need to be logged completely off the system including linux. Do you know how to accomplish that? We can not have the end users land at the linux prompt under any conditions.

Sandy,
Either change the user's UNIX login script to have exec `cat /.uvhome`/bin/uv or change their UNIX system shell to uv rather than sh.

Hi Sandy,
I don't think the AUTOLOGOUT behavior would work any differently from when a regular user exits UniVerse. One way to accomplish this is to start the UniVerse session with the 'exec' command. This basically starts the UniVerse session and the parent shell process goes away. So when UniVerse is exited, it would not go back to the Linux shell.
What happens now when a regular user exits from the application? Does that bring them all the way back to the Linux login prompt? If so, I would expect the AUTOLOGOUT to the same thing.
Let us know.
Thanks,
Neil

Thank you. We will try the exec.
