Hi Patti,
You could try:
IdleTimeout <time>
Sets idle timeout limit to time in seconds (s or nothing
afternumber), in minutes (m), in hours (h), in days (d), or in
weeks (w).If the connection have been idle (all channels) for
that long time thechild process is killed with SIGHUP, and
connection is closed down.
