Overview
This plugin deletes inactive user accounts. The cleanup process runs with the LMS cron.
The cleanup-process runs in two steps for each user. If an inactive user is found he gets a notification mail and is marked as notified within this plugin.
When the user still has not accessed the system after a chosen timespan he will be deleted in the second step.
When a notified user logs in again before the deletion process starts, his notify entry is removed with the next run of the cleanup process.
The process checks the last access timestamp of the user against the present time stamp.
You can configure how often the process is started by a time interval in days.
