The system was designed by another systems integrator and now I’m trying to change and modify certain things, one of them is when a supervisor is log in for xxx amount of time and not activity I need to log him/her out.

here is what I’m trying

seconds = system.util.getInactivitySeconds()  
Role = system.tag.read(’[Client]ROLE\_NUM’)  
value = 2  
value1 = “operator”

if seconds =\> 300 and Role \>=3:

# system.security.switchUser(value, value1)

system.tag.writeToTag(’[Client]ROLE\_NUM’, value)  
system.tag.writeToTag(’[Client]USER\_NAME’, value1)

But I keep getting a syntax error  
Unable to register action  
Parse Error:  
Traceback (innermost last):  
(no code object) at line 0  
SyntaxError: (‘invalid syntax’,(",6,12,‘if seconds =\> 300 and Role \>=3:’))

What am I doing wrong?

Replace ‘=\>’ with ‘\>=’.
