New feature suggestion : a designer procedure which, when included in the screen, actions whenever there is screen activity

[Deskin, Bob]

If you're looking for something that times out QUICK, the QKGO terminal
time-out is supposed to do that based on a prompt being made and no
input happening after a period of time.
 
As well, on UNIX and Windows, there are two types of time out for Axiant
thin-client users to check whether there is activity from the user and
whether the client session is still active.

	A simple application of this would be to enable a current
timestamp for the pid of the quick process to be written to a file, and
make it much easier to determine which quick processes have been
inactive for a certain amount of time, and subsequently either logged
out or killed etc....

	I just tested this in 8.41E (Windows). It's generic and should
work the same way on all platforms. If not, please report a bug.

	 

	QUICK keeps an internal count if there's a QKGO Timeout setting.
I don't know how often it's checked, but I know that it issues a warning
message a few seconds before the actual time-out. For example, I set it
to 30 seconds and got a warning 7 seconds before the time-out. At the
time-out it exits QUICK (doing the appropriate rollbacks and backouts).
The basis is whether there's any input from the user. If there's none,
QUICK times out.

	PS You could buy more licenses :-)

		Subject: Question about auto logout in QKGO file

		How does the QKGO file's timeout feature work? 
		Is the QKGO file (say 20 mins) checking frequently, to
kick people out if they've left a QUICK session online for longer than
20 minutes? Does it only kick them out AFTER they try to change screens,
for example?

		The issue we're having is we're running out of
powerhouse licenses due to the number of users trying to access the
system from a powerhouse main menu. However, there are people that leave
their sessions on the screen in this main menu, without logging out and
so it books a license. As soon as they go back and try and do something
QKGO seems to kick in and therefore logs them out, basically saying
"...uh uh.. Sorry... you took too long to action your screen". We want
QKGO to do this anyway, and kick them out of the screen whether they are
using it or not.

		Thanks 

		Kind regards,
