If your shell is bash, this may apply:

File: bashref.info,  Node: Bash Variables,  Prev: Bourne Shell Variables,  Up: S
...
`TMOUT'
     If set to a value greater than zero, the value is interpreted as
     the number of seconds to wait for input after issuing the primary
     prompt when the shell is interactive.  Bash terminates after that
     number of seconds if input does not arrive.
