Shell Timeout Scripts

Automatic shell timeout configuration scripts for POSIX shells (bash/zsh) and C shells (csh/tcsh). These scripts automatically set shell timeout values based on User ID (UID) or Group ID (GID) membership (including secondary groups).

Features UID and/or GID-based timeout configuration Additive and subtractive list management Validation of timeout values (positive integers only) Can set timeout to readonly (bash/zsh).
