There is nothing in CP that will do that. There are inactivity timers in, for example, FTP and Telnet. For telnet sessions, look at the INACTIVE timer in InternalClientParms. This will, IIRC, trip the Disconnect_Timeout wire. Unfortunately there's no way to set the INACTIVE timer on a per-user basis. Your performance monitor, as Marcy notes, is the best place to make that kind of decision anyway, since it has the best knowledge of whether the user is actually doing work (burning CPU) rather than depending on console traffic.
