Shell-Timeout; a bash script that will kill all shells at a pre-determined time. You can create exceptions for terminals you don't want terminated.
I've created two versions:
- Full version:
idle_explosion.sh - Minimal version:
silent_kill.sh
Functionality Comparison:
idle_explosion.sh:
- Size: 2,970 bytes
- Displays warnings for when the terminal will die
- Definable Grace period count-down.
- Definable time for when terminals will die
- Alerts when an exclusion has been found.
- Controllable verbosity
- Comments included
silent_kill.sh:
- Size: 924 bytes
- Silent, no warning, no grace period. Only termination.
- The lighter version hogs far less resources:
- Reduced file size. No comments, no clutter, no noise.
- Minimal memory consumption, no loops, sleeps till 1s prior to detonation time.
Add these the following lines to your .zshrc or .bashrc.
. path/to/file/idle_explosion.sh & or . path/to/file/silent_kill.sh &
alias disarm='touch /tmp/.zsh_exception/${PPID}; echo "Exception made."'
||=================== General Information ===================||
This was a project that I was tasked to undertake, this is the finalised bash-script. All terminals are killed with the SIGTERM flag, it terminates current sessions gracefully, Using SIGTERM will kill unresponsive terminal sessions but the history will not be saved as a result.
