IDLETIMEOUT

The IDLETIMEOUT option specifies the amount of time, in minutes, that a client session can be idle before the server cancels the session. You may want to increase the time-out value to prevent clients from timing out if there is a heavy network load in your environment. Note, however, that a large number of idle sessions could prevent other users from connecting to the server.

The IDLETIMEOUT server option is used for non-administrative sessions. See the ADMINIDLETIMEOUT option for administrative client sessions.

You can update this server option without stopping and restarting the server by using the SETOPT command.
