Thanks, Scott and Gary.<br>
<br>
I actually knew about idled - found it on Freshmeat.net. Using skill with
the -u switch will probably work best, as I want to remove users who have
not only forgotten, but lost their connections and are still logged on by
the host. Kicking them off on demand rather than by time lapse will work
best.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
