Automatic logout of remote connection

Post by kpw007 »

Good afternoon folks.
I'm trying to find a way of automatically logging people out of the VNC Server after 10minutes or so. This is to prevent people from remaining logged in after they have finished their remote work, but also to limit the ammount of data that is being used on the remote site as it's on an LTE connection, and I don't want any over data charges.
Many thanks in advance for the advice

There exist some idle time paramter.
Works only with an ultravnc viewer !! You set the value on the server site, and the server activate it on the viewer.

ultravnc.ini
IdleInputTimeout=b
b > 60 -> disconnect after b seconds
b<60 after b seconds updates happen every 5 seconds ( slow mode)

samples

b=50
If input is idle for 50 seconds, screen goes in slow mode (one update every 5 seconds)
b=10
If input is idle for 10 seconds, screen goes in slow mode (one update every 5 seconds)
b=250
If input is idle for 250 seconds, viewer disconnect
