current plan is to modify miniserv.pl to change the 7 days to be 30 minutes (our
session timeout). This will ensure that after the session times out, the
script is run and the session deleted from the %sessiondb hash. Since the
session is deleted, I don't think that there is any danger of the logout_script
running more than once.</font></span></div>

Postfix module and the Webmin Actions Log<br /><br /></font></div>This is
actually possible, via an un-documented option. Just edit the file
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and add the line
:<br /><br />logout_script=/path/to/some/script.pl<br /><br />And then restart
Webmin with /etc/webmin/restart . This will be run when a user logs out or
times out, with the username, session ID, remote IP and local IP as
parameters.<br />There is also a matching login_script parameter, but it
doesn't sound like you need that.<br /><br /> - Jamie<br /><br />On
