Limit Login and stale sessions

[speckled]

Hi all, anyone have any workaround to force stale sessions closed after a set time period? if the kids do not log off properly the next time they try to log on limit login refuses logon.

Log them off... ?

I had an MSI that I pushed out, not sure where it came from, and now the staff users are logged off after 15 minutes (or something) I probably found it from Edugeek.

That's not the OP's question. With Limitlogon, if a machine gets killed without logging out properly, and then the same user tries to get into a different machine before the original has booted again, Limitlogon still thinks the user is already active - a stale session.

Ah, my misunderstanding, not some software we have..

 

How does Limitlogon know (or not know) that users are logged on ?

If it is running an app in the logoff script, can you force this to run ? I know a lot of the students we have like to restart the machines, rather than log off, so you could run this app during startup.

I clear all the records overnight each day from a script - its not perfect - but it helps.

 

I suppose you could run the script at lesson end or break & lunch time too.

Could you post the script?

LLogincmd.exe /c

Yep - as tosh says - its just a /c argument, I do this just prior to kicking off psshutdown

I made a .bat file of LLogincmd.exe /c then have the .bat file run from a schedule.
