[cisco-voip] CCM 6.1 CCMAdmin timeout

[Scott Voll]

Personally I would like a knob to fix it to my liking, but I also would like
it to auto log me out if there was no computer activity (not the ccmadmin
but computer activity).  Kind of like Office Communicator says inactive when
you have not used it your computer for 5 minutes.  then after 10 minutes
it's away. a system where no computer activity would equal log off rather
then no activity on the ccmadmin page equally log off.  I may be neck deep
in setting up services or troubleshooting something and someone comes in and
needs something else that takes 20+minutes.
just my 2 cents
