LogoffTime : Number

MarxMenu supports automatic logoff after a number of minutes of inactivity set by LogoffTime. This only has effect while you are in the menu and not while an application is running. It is set as follows:


 LogoffTime = 5 ;sets time to 5 minutes

Setting LogoffTime to 0 disables this feature.

On a Novell network the current drive is changed to the first network drive letter. Any map roots on this drive are removed. Then it changes to the \LOGIN directory. Typically the current directory will be set to F:\LOGIN.

MarxMenu will first look for a batch file in the \LOGIN directory called OFF.BAT. If it doesn't find it, MarxMenu will look for OFF.BAT on the PATH. If this isn't found, MarxMenu will look for LOGOFF.EXE. If this isn't found, then MarxMenu will look for LOGOUT.COM.

LOGOFF.EXE and LOGOUT.COM are executed by stuffing the keyboard buffer.

The best way to use this feature is to create an OFF.BAT file in your \LOGIN directory or on the PATH.

Logging off is a tricky process and requires that everything is done right in order for it to work. If strange things happen use ECHO ON and PAUSE in your batch files in order to watch what is happening.
