You really don't want to use TIMEOUT for every user since that can cause a lot of trouble.
I only execute it for certain users like shop floor terminals.
I put macros into the sbc files on those PCs so you only click on the icon and it logs you on to Linux with the right ID and password for that machine and sits on a menu with only 2 options 1. Log on to UD and X to exit SBClient. If you choose 1 it logs you on to UD automatically so machine operators don't need to know and remember any user IDs and passwords. Of course those users have limited access and can only run processes for the shop floor like labour bookings. If the screen is logged on to UD and is idle for 5 minutes UD times out and the screen goes back to the Linux menu. Ever since I put that in we have on average 50 users less logged on at any time and don't get even close to running out of licenses any more.

UniData has a TIMEOUT command that we sometimes put in the VOC LOGIN for
clients whose users let their sessions tie up licenses while sitting idle.

universe has an AUTOLOGOUT command. I think unidata has something similar.
