Windows logoff command

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

The way I've normally seen this done is to set the program up as a  
screen saver, and to set the screen saver to activate after whatever  
time limit the administrator wishes.  The screen saver might run for a  
few minutes with a warning that the user will be automatically logged  
out after a certain amount of time, then if the screen saver is still  
running x amount of time later, the user is logged out.

In this case, the lock screen feature is actually good, since the user  
is given a chance to identify himself to the system again and cancel  
the logout if he was simply spending a huge amount of time reading  
something on the screen or waiting for his CD to burn or file to  
download...

Not sure how to do this in Rev, though, sorry.

You might want to look at these sites, though (quick google search):
