There might be some issues in this, will try to kill itself...
and what if more than one process are idle...you may get issues...

Actually there is no way we can check our script...

Try:
Code:
ps auxw | awk '/idle/&&!/awk/ {print $2}' | xargs -t -I {} kill -9 {}

Put the above in the loop given by zviadi

axctl

AXCTL(8)						   Linux System Managers Manual 						  AXCTL(8)

NAME

       axctl - Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.

SYNOPSIS

       axctl [-v] port dest src window|t1|t2|t3|n2|idle|paclen|kill [parm]

DESCRIPTION

       The  axctl  command  is designed to be a multi-function command that allows miscellaneous commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol
       layer for existing AX.25 connections. The connection is uniquely identified via the combination of port, destination  callsign  and  source
       callsign, with that information the kernel is able to change the parameters, or abort the connection.

       Many  of the options are similar to those found in axparms and perform the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each invoka-
       tion of axctl.

OPTIONS

       -v		   Displays the version number.

       window window	   Sets the window size for the AX.25 connection.

       t1 t1-timeout	   Sets the initial T1 timeout value for the AX.25 connection, the value is given in seconds.

       t2 t2-timeout	   Sets the T2 timeout value for the AX.25 connection, the value is given in seconds.

       t3 t3-timeout	   Sets the T3 timeout value for the AX.25 connected, the value is given in seconds.

       n2 n2-count	   Sets the maximum number of tries for the AX.25 connection.

       idle idle-timeout   Sets the value for the idle timer for the AX.25 connection, the value is in minutes.

       paclen paclength    Sets the maximum packet length that may be transmitted on the AX.25 connection.

       kill		   Will abort an existing AX.25 connection.

FILES

       /etc/ax25/axports
