We can configure idle timeout for ssh so that if there is no activity for given period, the user is automatically logged out. To configure idle timeout edit file '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'

ClientAliveInterval 300
ClientAliveCountMax 3

Using above configuration would disconnect client if there is no activity for 15 minutes.

One can refer to 'man sshd_config' for more information on above parameters.

Technique has been learned from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-login-bash-shell-force-time-outs/
