Yes there is a time out. Mechanism is built in NET$SERVER.COM if I
remember well. I think you can even customize the time out with a
logical name. It can have some side effects, some of which I did not
like. Therefore I used to terminate all my network mode procedures with
a STOP/ID=0 instead of LOGOUT, just to make sure processes would not be
re-used. Process creation used to be expensive on OpenVMS but with
today's hardware it's hardly an issue anymore.
