I don't think there's a great way to do exactly that. If you want to run notebooks unsupervised, you can do so in a headless fashion with 'jupyter nbconvert --execute', which will start a kernel, run the notebook and stop the kernel again.
We are planning to expose more information so you can see how long a notebook has been idle.
