Depends on what shell a user is using. For example, ksh and bash support TMOUT, csh supports autologout, Bourne shell
supports neither.

Also setting TMOUT and the like may interfer with certain long
running processes which do not require much user interaction.

Do a Google search for "idleout" and/or "logmon".
