Killing idle users
-
Hi guys,
We have some third party software that sits on SQLServer 7 on NT 4.
Is there something out there that can be set up as a job in SQLServer to be run every half an hour looking for users that have been idle for 2 hours ?
Thanks in advance.

There might be a script in the library here, if not it's easy to write. Setup a stored proc to scan sysprocesses and check the last batch against the current time. After some xx time, run a kill against the spid.

Just make sure it does not take a snapshot in time and comapre it to another snapshot in time otherwise you may take out users you don't mean to.
For example you do a select against sysprocess at 10:00 AM to get the spid and loginnae of each inactive user, do the same thing at 11:00 AN find user simley is still inactive.
Well smiley may have been active in the interval, or may have disconected and reconnected and gotten the same SPID.
If your aps are leaving hanging connections, deal with your aps.

OK, bringing som ehumour to the forum...
A couple days ago, in the QOD thread, a forum user remarked that really what the question was about was purely semantics. Brian Kelley responded that it was more than semantics:
quote:
To the DBA, that should all make sense. But even to a system administrator, some of that may be incomprehensible. Now, imagine you were Joe Blow on the streets. Talk about dropping tables probably has a totally different connotation than for the DBA.It just occurred to me that the title of this thread could probably be interpreted quite badly by our "Jow Blow on the streets".
Sorry for the tangent.

As Henery pointed out, its better to handle the situation at app. level
but if you must you can use this proc to view and kill processes
I use the combined output of sp_who2 and DBCC INPUTBUFFER
Note: Define your criteria for idle process, and refine your search by updating
all occurrences of this statement:
Select *
From #Temp_Table
Where Login <> 'sa' AND
DatePart(hh, GetDate()) - Substring(LastBatch, CharIndex(' ', LastBatch) + 1, 2)) = @Time_Slept)
Ex. Where Login <> 'sa' AND HostName <> '...' so on ... AND
DatePart(hh, GetDate()) - Substring(LastBatch, CharIndex(' ', LastBatch) + 1, 2)) =
@Time_Slept)
** KILL statement has been commented out

@Show_Kill BIT = 0, -- 0 =(Just show idle pro.), 1 = (show and kill idle pro.)

Many thanks.
I'll take what you've said on board, and see what I come up with.
Cheers
Dave
