[SD4L-user] Container timeout.

[Plutocrat <plu...@gm...>]

First of all, great job on Scramdisk 4 Linux. I've been using Truecrypt on Windows for several years, so when a client asked me about encryption on his Linux server, I instantly thought of Truecrypt. However there was no pre-built package for Centos/RHEL, so I spent several days struggling to get truecrypt to compile, crashing the server, recovering from kernel panics, etc. 

Then I found scramdisk 4 linux which took me approximately 20 seconds to install. Enough said. 

OK now to my question. One of the features of truecrypt that my client liked was the feature to timeout a container after a period of inactivity. I believe this also was a feature of scramdisk for windows. Is this feature likely to make it into SD4L? 

If not, is there a sneaky way I can do this with a shell script? (eg fire off a cron job once an hour which checks a value, and then sdumounts a given container or not depending on what it finds? 

Just to make things more difficult, the container in this instance is holding a mysql database, so I'm not sure if that would affect things ... does mysql hold open a connection to the database files even when the tables aren't being accessed? 

Cheers ...
