Description Robert Krátký 2015-11-10 15:42:37 UTC

4.2.4
The method of installing screen to enforce session timeouts, though convenient, is not necessarily best-practice. A similar effect can be had with setting the bash or login shell TMOUT variable and setting the variable as read-only.  E.g., readonly TMOUT  in the system-wide bash profile.

Hello, I rewrited the section 4.2.4 [1] to use the TMOUT variable and I consulted the solution with Martin Prpic. Thank you for reviewing.
