Is there any way to "refresh" a session variable's timeout countdown so that
when a user accesses a page the timeout is reset back to whatever I had it
set to in Application.cfm?

For example, my session variables timeout is currently set to 30 minutes for
security reasons. But I have some users who use this site all day long. I'd
like to prevent having these power users from having to log back in every
30 minutes. As long as they access any page in the site within the 30 minute
window, I'd like the 30-minute countdown to reset back to 30. Possible?

I suppose I could create a duplicate CF directory with its own
application.cfm for these special users, but of course that gets kind of
messy...
