Could someone point me in the right direction to understand how the TMOUT variable is monitored, and logs out the session when it's expired? I'm looking for a way to lock a users command session with vlock (or similar) when they are idle for a user-defined time. At the moment, I use TMOUT=7200 but this logs them out, which is inconvenient. I just want to lock their session, requiring them to enter their password to unlock the session, similar to how xscreensaver would do if they were using a GUI.
Thanks Paul
