378.0. "DIALED IN PROCESS STAYS LOGGED IN AFTER HANGUP!" by COBRA::ROY () Tue Dec 23 1986 09:57

    
    
    	DOES ANYONE KNOW: What paremeter (if any) is responsible for
    			  causing a process to be terminated once let's
    			  say the phone line is dropped to the system.
    
    			  Have one system that kills a process once
    			  the line is disconnected and another that
    			  leaves the process logged in? 
    
    			  Im not sure but I thought a parameter was
    			  related to this?

    Sounds like the system doesn't know that the phone line dropped. 
    What cable are you using between the modem and the system?  What
    type of terminal interface?  What type of modem?  Is the line set
    /MODEM/DIALUP?  Is the process connected to a virtual terminal
    (VTAnnn)?

378.2This solved it for meWHOARU::MCCARTHYJust another colorful metaphorTue Dec 23 1986 12:198
    had this problem at my school.
    
    SET TERM/PERM/HANGUP <port>
    
    worked for me. (except for the Hayes modem, couldn't get that sucker
    to hang-up on disconnect for anything!)

    /HANGUP tells the system to hang up the phone line when the process
    logs out.  It does not affect in any way how the system treats the
    process once the phone line has gone away.

378.4TTY_TIMEOUTASIA::MCLEMANHere comes that same ol&#039; feelin&#039;:Wed Dec 24 1986 07:026
    sysgen parameter TTY_TIMEOUT set the number of seconds before a
    process associated with a disconnected terminal is deleted.
