Hi Stanislas,

 

I have found your solution of variable assign to terminate APM session on particular time.

 

set endhour 22; set endmin 18; set starthour [clock format [mcget {session.user.starttime}] -format %H]; set startmin [clock format [mcget {session.user.starttime}] -format %M]; return [expr {( $endhour * 3600 ) + ( $endmin * 60 ) - ( $starthour * 3600 ) - ( $startmin * 60 )}]

 

Can we add date and month as well along with time in this format ? E.G. i want to terminate APM session on March 10, 2018 at 17:00. Can you please advise if this is possible and what will be the syntax?
