    You could try going the other direction and use a program such as Caffeine to make the timeout not apply to some users, if these programs simulate user activity.

  • Oooh, that should do the trick nicely. If you repost as an answer I'll accept your solution.

  • Well, does it work? Haven't tried to use it with that option myself.

  • It seemed to work at first, but I've just found myself logged out due to inactivity. I think I may have had caffeine configured to only keep the system awake for a defined duration. I've now configured caffeine to work indefinitely, and am testing further, and will report back.

  • Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I keep getting logged out despite caffeine being configured to keep the system in an active state. Many thanks for your suggestion though.
