- Hi!
-
- I know a little bit about DCL commands, but not a whole lot...
-
- I am a person who suffers from staying on the Vax way too late at
- night... I'd like to be able to set an "alarm clock" of sorts,
- to log me out automatically at a certain time.
-
- I don't think there is any command I can use to do this, but I
- think I should be able to create a .com file to do it. I envision
- something like this:
-
- - Input time to log out
- - submit a batch program to kill the process at the defined
- time, and send a "five minute warning" prior...
-
- Is there a way to pull in the PID short of entering it by hand??
- I assume I could use stop /ident=PID to kill the process...
-
- Is there a better way?? Am I crazy? Do I not know what I'm
- talking about???
-
- Thanks for any help!!!
