If you have a terminal that can be convinced to respond to a string (like a
VT100 or equivalent) you can always send that string every 10 minutes & then do
a read. Implementation is left to the reader.

I am tempted to flame you for putting up an autologout program. Reminds me of
a mod at berkeley known as the "Fascist File System" (really, that was the
official name!). But since I don't know your circumstances I won't.
