server no-gui logout after inactivity
 
I have an Ubuntu server, and I am trying to logout the user after 2 minutes of inactivity on the machine. I modified /etc/profile, and added the following lines;
Code:
TMOUT = 120
readonly TMOUT
export TMOUT
When I login, i get this error: TMOUT: command not found.

Get rid of the spaces around the equals sign. It should look like this:
Code:
TMOUT=120
readonly TMOUT
export TMOUT
That should work.
