Hello again people,

Quick question... is there a way to set a timer when a account is idle for say 30mins and then logs out?

Thanks again,

Stuart.

Yes, I think it's in the Security control panel. But I've found a couple of limitations. First, if it can't quit all your applications (because you've got unsaved documents, for example) it won't log out. Second, if you have multiple users logged in, it doesn't log out the users in the background - only the user controlling the screen.
