How come my hpterms keep going away by themselves?
You are probably using the C Shell (/bin/csh) and have autologout set (it is set to 60 minutes by default). Put an “unset autologout” in your “.cshrc”. If you are using the korn shell it is probably due to the value set for the shell variable TMOUT. Set it to 0 (infinite timeout). (Thanks to Jim Sharpe
