Petri -
Some things may have changed since I've tested it but during my testing I couldn't get it
(the timeout) to work at all. The problem, as it was explained to me is in the way that
autocad itself works. Something like an autosave would be interpreted as a command and
the timeout could be defeated by setting autosave to something like 5 minutes. On the
other hand if someone is producing a huge rendering then there might be 12 hours go by
without an actual command being entered with the keyboard/mouse, so the timeout would kick
in and kill your rendering (which would bite).
During my testing I set a timeout for 30 minutes and 4 hours later the acad session was
still up (with no input).
