I expect this may be a feature-request, because I can't find anything
about it in the documentation. But, I did read in the documentation
that the authors get a lot of e-mail, and they'd appreciate it if we'd
ask our questions on comp.security.ssh first. So here goes.

It occurs to me that Pageant ought to have a time-out feature of some
sorts. Should the user be so foolish as to forget it's running and
leave it up all night, or for his/her entire vacation, it ought to be
able to shut itself off after some configurable number of hours of
inactivity.

Is there a way to do this? Any plans for a future implementation?
Might it be considered a bad idea anyway?
