Why not set the TMOUT environment variable? Be sure to set the variable as read only so that individual users cannot override it. If users time out, the get booted.

Question Thanks, but with one more question...
I have done a few test runs and this seems to work for me. Will it also work for people already logged in?

How could it? It's an environment variable for the current shell. You need to set set this in a common profile.

If you can, force your users to log out. Make the change, then allow them back in.
