Idle Disconnect
LinkLaunch has the ability to automatically shut down applications and unmap
any associated drives after a period of inactivity.
To configure the idle disconnect feature for a particular file service on
Banyan, a file server on Novell, or a computer on a Microsoft network, make an
LL.INI entry similar to the following:
[IdleDisconnect]
Server1=15
In this example, applications started by LinkLaunch that use Server1 will be
terminated after 15 minutes of inactivity.
A warning dialog will be displayed after the timeout and before the
application is terminated. The warning dialog displays the name of the inactive
application and a countdown time until the application is actually terminated.
The countdown timer starts at 60 seconds. The user may activate the
application during the countdown time by task switching or by pressing the 'Activate'
button on the warning dialog. If the application is not activated during the
countdown time, the warning dialog goes away and the application is terminated. A
message box is displayed after an application is terminated.
NOTES: Inactivity is defined as not having the input focus. An application is
inactive when it is minimized or in the background.
A foreground application will become inactive when a screen saver starts.
The minimum 'IdleDisconnect' time is 1 minute.
LinkLaunch does not close applications as 'cleanly' as a user does. Changes
to files that were left open may be lost. Windows resources may not be freed
properly.
