Autosignoff and autologoff timer

The VTAM® I/O Timeout Facility (if active) detects users or sessions that should be automatically terminated.

A timer pops at intervals of one minute if the VTAM I/O Timeout Facility is active, or five minutes if the Timeout Facility is not active. The timer starts a routine that determines which resources are due for autosignoff or autologoff. The specified timeout value is the minimum value for which a user or session is automatically terminated. Termination actually occurs the next time the timer pops after the specified timeout value.
