The auto-disconnect command allows certain clients the capability to disconnect from the server with a custom delay, reserving the line for reconnect.
auto-disconnect [(n[-m])] {delay time} {(C
n | Indicates the PIB number of the process from which you want to log off. |
n-m | Specifies a range of PIB numbers of the processes from which to log off. |
delay time | Specifies the number of minutes to reserve the line associated with the process (or processes). The maximum delay time is 32,767 minutes (approximately 22 days, 18 hours). |
(C |
If you specify the C (Clear) option, the feature is disabled for the specified process (or processes). The process remains connected when the client is at the Logon Please: prompt. |
The delay you define with the auto-disconnect command allows clients who want to reserve their connection (line) to do so while they are logged off.
The client disconnects at the specified time, reserving the line, and releasing the license consumed by the client. Using the delayed disconnect feature allows the license to be available to other clients. This allows a larger number of users to connect to a server over a period of time than are licensed to do so.
To resume the client connection, connect via normal methods. If a license is available for consumption, the client immediately commences connection on the associated line(s) and process(es).
Consider the following information when evaluating the delayed disconnect and disconnect on logoff features:

This example disconnects line 1 after 10 minutes at the Logon Please: prompt.
auto-disconnect 1 10
This example disconnects lines 2 through 4 after 5 minutes at the Logon Please: prompt.
auto-disconnect 2-4 5
This example clears the auto-disconnect command settings for line 1.

This example clears the auto-disconnect command settings for lines 2 through 4.
