HP Session Allocation Manager (HP SAM) v.3.1 Administrator's Guide

connected via the HP RGS protocol and are not designed for use with resources which are
intended to be logged into locally.
The following timer types are available:
◦
Active Sessions – Allows the administrator to force a disconnection after the user has been
connected for the specified period of time.
◦
Active But Idle Sessions – Allows the administrator to force a disconnection when the user
is connected and has been idle (i.e., no mouse or keyboard activity) for the specified period
of time.
◦
Disconnected Sessions – Allows the administrator to force a logoff the specified amount of
time after the user disconnects (either manually or via timers or network interruption.)
◦
Disconnected Sessions CPU Low – Works like the Disconnected Sessions timer above, but
will not log the user off if the CPU activity is above the specified threshold. This timer helps
to avoid logging off a disconnect user who has CPU-intensive tasks still running.
◦
Disconnected Sessions CPU High – Works like the timer above except that it will force a
logoff if the CPU activity is above the specified threshold. This is intended to free up
resources which may be stuck in an infinite loop.
Please refer to the help page (man hpstd) for more detailed info and additional options.
