Automatic logout after daily time limit reached

Hey there, I'd like to be able to limit the amount of time my daughter uses the computer in a day. I know that if I tell her she can use it for 2 hours a day, we'll just get into arguments about when she's reached the limit. So, what I'd like is some advice on how I would go about setting up a timer that logs the cumulative amount of time she is logged on in a day and automatically logs her out once it reaches 2 hours in a day. I'd also, obviously, like it to deny furter logins once the limit is reached until the next day. I don't have any experience with scripts but I think it'll involve some kind of root level logout hook. Just a guess though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott

SE30 - Unable to end the measurement (error number 5, Time limit reached)

Hello there,
I wish to perform a complete ABAP trace using SE30 for a program running for 4 hours. The system is R/3 4.6C.
However I got the error message below once I clicked "Back" button or F3 when the program finished after 4 hours.
Please note that ST12 is not available in the system I logged on.

The ABAP trace results only managed to capture the first 45 minutes of the ABAP calls (due to timeout i think). I would need the whole and complete ABAP trace result for 4 hours, NOT the first 45 minutes. Is there any setting in SE30 can be set for this purpose? Note that there is no ABAP error for the program I traced.
The following link didn't answer my question as well. Hope you can provide clue in this case.

INVALID_TICKET account-time-limit-reached when logging into any of my room

I get the following error message when trying to log into any of my rooms. What do I need to do? I already tried to create a new room, but it did not resolve it.
A system error has occurred. We have been notified.
Error Code: INVALID_TICKET account-time-limit-reached

Is there the upgraded account with no limitation. What is the price for that?
Another question, I got the exception like that.
But I can't know on which line the exception occurs on my code.
How can you catch such an exception?

Automatic logout after inactivity/idle

i am trying to setup an automated logout after an idle period for regular domain users. this is a lab environment running windows 7 enterprise x64.
we used winexit.scr before, but it looks like it is incompatible with windows 7. i have tried making a scheduled task for this purpose but it never executes. i found a program that will do the logoff and i tried to make a scheduled task to execute the program but it never triggers.
has anyone done this successfully?

Roll back process after certain time limit

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 11g. I am calling one stored procedure (MainProc) from my application. Through this procedure I am calling internally three more procedure (Insert recordProc1, InsertRecordProc2 and DeleteRecProc).
The third stored procedure (DeleteRecProc) is taking more than 5 minutes. But if these process crossings more than 5 minutes, have to stop the process and roll back all three stored procedures functions.
I don’t have any commit statement inside of these stored procedures. But I have EXECUTE IMMEDIATE Inside of stored DeleteRecProc.
Help required: Help me to make a counter / Timer. I have a parameter, which has the assigned time limit. How to check whether the process crossing the time limit? How to stop the process and call Rollback?
Thanks in advance.

After redelivery attempt limit reached, where does the msg go ?

hi,
          I have weblogic6.1sp3 on windows nt. I have some questions regarding
          the redelivery behaviour of weblogic. I have a mdb listening on a
          queue set up so that it prints the msg recieved and rolls back (for
          test purposes). I have redelivery attempt limit set to 5 and the time
          between each redelivery set to 20 seconds.
          - When a rollback occurs, shouldnt i be able to see the message that
          was put back on the Q via the weblogic console ? currently the console
          simply shows that the message recieved count has increased.
          - After the 5th attempt to redeliver fails, the msg simply dissapears.
          I guess this means that it has been dropped. Is this normal ? is there
          any system Q where dropped msgs are placed ?
          - If I specify a Error Queue, would the msg be placed on it after the
          redelivery attempts fail as mentioned above ?
          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
          Thanks in advance,
          Raj

          The "pending" count will remain the same. A messing is "pending"
          if it is currently associated with a tx, unacknowledged, or in
          "delayed" delivery - otherwise it is counted as "current".

          > I guess this means that it has been dropped. Is this normal ?
          Yes. This is the documented behavior for redelivery limit.
          > is there
          > any system Q where dropped msgs are placed ?
          No. See next question.
          >

          Yes, in 6.1, this is the sole purpose of an error queue.
          See the programmer's guide documentation for "Redelivery Limit"
          and or "Error Queue", or the JMX configuration bean javadoc, or
          look at the console help.

Automatic logout after system freeze?

Lately I have been having trouble with my MBP 4,1 running 10.6.8. The entire computer will freeze for several minutes, and then the system will automatically close all open programs, log out all users, and return to the login screen. It's almost like the computer restarts itself without the actual restart. (I hope that made sense.)
Does anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? If it means anything, I'm running Sophos AV and multiple scans haven't turned up anything.
Thanks!

Automatic Logout after inactivity

I am trying to figure out the best way to 'kick' students off our lab machines at the end of the day.
As it is right now, the machines are set to 'log out after 30 minutes of inactivity' and to shutdown at 10:00pm each night. What happens is someone leaves and unsaved document open causing the logout and shutdown to be cancelled.
I understand the inconvenience that could be caused by giving forcing logouts and shutdowns, but I still want to.
Can the inactivity log out be given more power? Can I have the log out ignore unsaved work?

Thank you for your response, but that guide doesn't have any information on logging out users other than the security preference pane.
I have, however, been able to find a script which accomplishes the force logout of a user...
kill -9 `ps -Axjc | grep loginwindow | grep student | cut -c 13-16`
Currently this script is scheduled to run to make sure the machines are able to shutdown each night.
While this gets me one step closer, I would like to run this script on inactivity instead. Can this be done..?

Wifi doesn't automatically connect after installing Time Capsule

I've been having problems wifi connectivity on both of my MacBook Pros since installing a 2TB Time Capsule. They lose the wifi connection when they go to sleep/restart and I must manually select the wifi network to connect (and it takes AWHILE for it to pop up). Both are running Mountain Lion.
I know there are a lot of wifi connectivity issues out there, but I wonder if mine is different since it happened directly after installing the Time Capsule.
Also, and I'm not sure if its related, but I no longer have the Airport option in my network preferences...nor is it there when I try to "+" a new one.
Any suggestions?

I had this problem for months. My Macbook Pro wouldn't reconnect to my wifi after sleep. Eventually found the solution - for me anyway. I switched off the 5GHz frequency on my router. I have a BT router and it operates on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. Straight after I disabled 5GHz, it never had a problem reconnecting after sleep after that. Simple as that. I'll paste the link to the article I found below but this forum may remove it.

Backups are obsolete after KEEP UNTIL time is reached in 11.2

Hi,
Customer discovered significant change in behavior of KEEP UNTIL clause relating to retention policy in 11.2.
In 10.2 a backup marked with KEEP UNTIL clause was NOT marked as OBSOLETE, when it was required for RETENTION policy, even if the UNTIL time was reached.
In 11.2 this is no longer the case. It's obsolete right after UNTIL time is reached.
Checked the [11.2 documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsubcl011.htm#i97063] and found:
Specifies the time until which the backup or copy must be kept. After this time the backup is obsolete, regardless of the backup retention policy settings.
In [10.2 documentation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta035.htm#i97063] it reads:
The KEEP UNTIL clause never causes RMAN to consider a backup obsolete, if it is still required to satisfy the retention policy.
KEEP UNTIL can cause backups to be kept longer than the retention policy would otherwise require, but never causes a backup to become obsolete sooner than the retention policy requires.
Customer doesn't understand this change in behavior and wants have explanation.
Thanks,
Robert

Help creating a script to move users in and out of an OU based on a time limit

Here's my scenario: we currently have OUs based on the locations of our facilities, we also have a sub-OU(?) underneath it for users that need a group policy applied to them where whitelist applications allowed to run. From time to time we have need to pull
users out of that sub-OU for a short period of time to let them run applications they normally wouldn't be able to and won't need to run long term. Sometimes we also forget to add these people back into that policy controlled sub-OU because we get busy do
other things. Server is 2008 R2.
Here's what I'm looking for: A script that prompts for the users name, pulls that user out of the sub-OU, puts them in the main OU but only for 24 hours. After that time limit is up, a script/command runs that puts the user back in the policy controlled
sub-OU. I'm thinking a PS script would be the best way to do this.
Research: Looking at these posts here and here I'm
thinking I should be able to Frankenstein something together but I have very limited PS scripting experience.
Can anyone help me create this?

You've probably figured this out, but we're not typically in the business of writing complete solutions for people. With that said, there are projects I find particularly interesting, such as this one, where I am willing to help get someone started if they
are willing to take the time to work through the examples and learn from them.
You have two requests - one is a script that prompts for a user it then moves to a different location in Active Directory. The second request is a way to move them back without manual interaction. This will require an automated task (scheduled task)
that will run at select times during a day.
Here's the first script (1/2): The first two lines set two different variables. The first line sets the $OUPath variable to the SubOU. The second line prompts for a user and, once a user is entered, sets that user to the $User variable. It then runs the
first try-catch, attempting to replace the $User variable with the data returned from the Get-ADUser cmdlet. Notice the use of the -Properties parameter. By default the modified date and the extensionAttributes are not returned. We will be using the modified
date so we can be certain that 24 hours passes before we move them back (see part 2/2). Including extensionAttribute13 will ensure we only move users out of the OU if they were moved in by the script. Note: The modified date on a user in AD is changed when
it is moved from one OU to another. If the user cannot be located in the first try-catch it will say it cannot locate the user in Active Directory. If it can locate it, it will set the $User variable, as described so far, and then move on.
In the second (or, nested) try-catch we split the user's DistingusihedName at the first comma so that we have two parts. We use the second part (that doesn't include their CN) and see if that matches the $OUPath variable. If it does match then that user
has already been moved. If it doesn't match then we 1. Move the user, 2. Replace extensionAttribute13 with the string 'MovedUser,' and 3. Output that the user has been moved.
$OUPath = 'OU=SubOU,OU=MainOU,DC=mydomain,DC=com'
$User = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter SamAccountName'
try {
$User = Get-ADUser -Identity $User -Properties Modified,extensionAttribute13
try {
If ($User.DistinguishedName.Split(',',2) -eq $OUPath) {
Write-Output -Verbose 'User already moved.'
} Else {
Move-ADObject -Identity $User.DistinguishedName -TargetPath $OUPath
Set-ADUser -Identity $User.SamAccountName -Replace @{extensionAttribute13='MovedUser'}
Write-Output "'$($User.SamAccountName)' has been moved."
catch {
Write-Output "'$($User.SamAccountName)' cannot be moved."
catch {
Write-Output -Verbose "Unable to locate '$User' in Active Directory."
The second script (2/2): Here we also set a couple variables - one is the SubOU's DistinguishedName where we want to return the user and the other is the all of the users from the MainOU. Foreach user in $Users we check if their extensionAttribute13 is set
to 'MovedUser' and if their modified date is greater than or equal (-ge) to 24 hours. If it is, the script will move the user, clear extensionAttribute13, and let us know the user was moved. If for some reason your $OUPath variable is wrong, the script will
run the catch portion of the only try-catch we used in this script. Again, you'll have to schedule Task Scheduler to run this script. Good luck!
$OUPath = 'OU=MainOU,DC=mydomain,DC=com'
$Users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $OUPath -Properties Modified,extensionAttribute13
Foreach ($User in $Users) {
$TimeSince = New-TimeSpan -Start $User.Modified -End (Get-Date)
If ($User.extensionAttribute13 -eq 'MovedUser' -and $TimeSince.Hours -ge 24) {
try {
Move-ADObject -Identity $User.DistinguishedName -TargetPath $OUPath
Set-ADUser -Identity $User.SamAccountName -Clear extensionAttribute13
Write-Output "$($User.SamAccountName) has been moved."
catch {
Write-Output "$($User.SamAccountName) cannot be moved."
} Else {
Write-Output 'No Users to move.'
If you decide to use this, be sure to change the paths you use for the $OUPath variables. Also, if you're using this with PowerShell 2.0, you will need to use the Import-Module cmdlet to import the ActiveDirectory module. In versions above 2.0 it will be
imported automatically if you try to use an AD cmdlet.
Edit: Typo - Get-ADUser property

How to Automatically Logout Users

We recently created user accounts to enable parental controls for our teens. Very often, someone in the house will have used the mac, but forgets to logout from their account. Since there are different restrictions on different accounts, I would like to find a way to automatically log a user out after inactivity (especially if it is the admin user that has forgotten to log out, as we have NO parental controls!!). I have gone to system prefs and under security have set the automatic logout after 10 minutes of inactivity, but it did not log the user out. It seemed to put the computer to sleep, but NOT log the user out. Help?!?

Hmm ... I found this in the Help files:
+IMPORTANT: You should save any documents you’ve changed and close any applications that may present a dialog before closing. If any dialogs for unsaved documents or open applications appear during the log out, your computer will not finish logging you out.+
Is it possible that you hadn't saved all of your work or that one of your apps had a dialog box showing? Alternatively, Fast User Switching may work better for you. Here's what the Help says about that:
+When a user logs out of the computer, any open documents and applications close. If you want to allow multiple accounts to be running at the same time, you should allow “fast user switching.”+
+When fast user switching is turned on, the name of the current user is displayed in the upper-right corner of the menu bar. You can click the name to select another user to switch to.+
Fast User Switching would eliminate the need to log out when leaving the computer; simply go up to where it gives the name of the account on the top right corner of the screen and select Login Window. All users remain logged in, even when another user is working in a different account, until someone either logs out or the computer is restarted. To enable this, go to System Preferences > Accounts. Then click on Login Options at the bottom of the list of accounts. On the right, check the box that says Enable Fast User Switching and select the view you'd like to see in the menu bar.
I hope this helps!

Automatic logout of Forte clients

We would like to be able to detect if a user has not done anything for a
period of time - so that we can do automatic logouts after x minutes of
inactivity. Detecting inactivity sounds like the sort of job an agent
would do. Has anyone tried anything like this, or got any suggestions as
to how else we might do it - on a Forte client?
Thanks,
Graham Jenkins

Hi,
I would use BAT for that:
1. Create the services and the service profile, enable one user for IM&Presence using the service profile
2. Export all users using BAT in CUCM (Bulk Administration->users->Export Users, run immediately, then change to Bulk Administration->Job Scheduler, when your job is completed you can download the export file using Bulk Administration->Upload/Download Files)
3. Change the file extension from txt to csv and edit the file with your favorite CSV editor, so you enable all users for IM&Presence and add the service profile
4. Upload the file again with the last step in 2.
5. Use Bulk Administration->Users->update Users->custom file to update the user information.
Best regards,
Thomas.

Firefox automatically crashes after 4 hours of use and only when a textbox is being used - problem now daily and getting worse

This has been going on for a few weeks and started of it's own accord. I have not recently installed any new plugins or scripts, and my PC is protected by two antivirus products and so my system (WinXP) is malware free.
I can browse firefox for up to 4 hours, and then it crashes. No matter what sites I am using, what I am doing or even if I'm at the PC... so long as there's a text box on the page then firefox will crash if the 4 hour time limit expires. I can be just about to save an hours worth of photo captions and lose all that work due to the crash, or can be in the middle of a background download but it'll still crash... daily.
I thought this was a plugin issue, as I have disabled all plugins for javascript handling, flashgot, etc, but still it crashes. (previously on startup Firefox would hang for 5 to 10 minutes and the system would "bing" at me if I tried to click on the firefox window... eventually a 'non responsive script' window would appear relating to a flashgot script). The crash used to go whereby suddenly the page would freeze for a few seconds, followed by a minute or two of safe working, then 2 minutes of freeze and 30 seconds of safe working, with the ratio of freeze-tim:working time working in 20 seconds increments until firefox crashed... now though there is no warning, the page freezes and then it's gone. I have updated firefox several times and still the problem persists. On a previous computer, Firefox degraded to the point where it froze for 4 minutes on any page with a Flash application... now on this computer it has degraded by itself to the point where it crashes after 4 hours of use.
I'm presently using Internet Explorer to type this question because firefox crashed again and I'm not going to sit waiting for it to reload just to get a few numbers from an information screen... therefore further info like crash ID's etc will be update in due time....

Cool, I'll try using the wall adaptor just as soon as I get a convertor for it to convert it to our socket type. It's nice to hear that someone else has experienced the same issue.
I am not using it as a phone in Australia, just the ipod and wifi.
