No, that would not help. I already have a script I use to kill idle
sessions. Idle sessions as such don't really bother me. What I want to
get rid of are "zombie" sessions. These stay listed the same as valid
sessions, but the telnet client at the other end is gone.
My problem is that if a remote location with 40 users loses it's
connection, those sessions remain and use up 40 licences. As the
location regains connectivity and users start reconnecting, we often
run out of licences. Killing idle sessions help, but those 40 zombies
are the ones I want to get rid of. Right now I use the "wall" command
to send some text to all users and doing that kills all the zombies.
I'll have something like 230 users listed by "who" and after the
"wall" only 190 will remain.
I want to accomplish the same thing, but without disturbing the valid
client's screens.
