Timeout Plugin
The timeout plugin can be used to make sure a connection
is only open as long as there is data beeing sent or received. You can
define the time the connection may be open until it will be closed by the
software. As some hosts may have difficulties with connections that simply
close the connection this plugin allows you to define a graceful logout
command.
The timeout will be reset every time something
happens and after a disconnection and reconnect it will start again automatically.
To use the plugin put it in your plugin list,
preferrably between the Terminal and the Telnet
or SSH plugin.
