autologout is not working

I'm running the bookworm release.

In the past, I have run my systems using be setting the "autologout"
environment value, e.g.

    setenv autologout 3600

This gets set in my $HOME/.cshrc file, which is executed when I log in.

I have been trying to get the auto logout feature to work, but with
no success. Should I be using a different command.

Re: autologout is not working

Thank for the input, but autologout is still not working for me.

My /etc/profile.d/autologout.csh is:

   #! /bin/csh -f

   set -r autologout=5

At this point, I am thinking the is a system problem on my PC, but I am not sure how to track it down. I have looked at the /var/log directory, but I don't see anything there out of the ordinary.
