This plugin checks whether there are inactive users on a system. The plugin requires CPAN module User-Utmp-1.8.
Inactive users often occur when system admins are working on some issue and forget to log out. This bad, in particular on consoles, where you can often also break the connection without removing any elevated privileges. The plugin warns of inactivity users after 1 hour by default and it becomes critical after two hours. These can be re-configured via command line options. Below is the output of check_inactive --help
