[»] tmout

Perhaps simpler to implement, altho not as flexible, is the Bash internal variable $TMOUT. From the Bash scripting guide:

$TMOUT

If the $TMOUT environmental variable is set to a non-zero value time, then the shell prompt will time out after time seconds. This will cause a logout.

I am sure that other shells have similar features.

This works with any shell on all systems that have Perl and the who command so this should be much more versatile... The implementation is pretty simple. Not elegant, but wrote it in 15 minutes...
