Dave,
        There are two quick and easy ways to find the answer to your
question (besides posting here ;-). First look through the
documentation where the session-timeout command is documented and you
will also find the absolute-timeout command documented.

<DocCD>
Establishing Terminal Session Limits
You might need to control terminal sessions in high-traffic areas to
provide resources for all users. You can define the following
limitations for terminal sessions:

*The maximum number of sessions

*The idle session timeout interval or the absolute timeout interval

To establish terminal session limits, use the following commands in line
configuration mode:

Command Purpose
Step 1
 Router(config-line)# session-limit session-number
 Sets the maximum number of simultaneous sessions.1
 
Step 2
 Router(config-line)# session-timeout minutes [output]
 Sets the idle session timeout interval.
or

Router(config-line)# absolute-timeout minutes
Sets the absolute timeout interval.
 
Step 3
 Router(config-line)# logout-warning [seconds]
 Warns users of impending timeouts set with the absolute-timeout
command.
</DocCD>

The other method would be to perform a search of the DocCD.

"absolute timeout vty site:www.cisco.com/univercd/"

ch

The first hit in Google would give you the answer.

Wow....I would never guessed! I wish I had a better method to find
those
little esoteric commands (like this one). Thanks!

Does anyone know of a command that limits (by absolute time) the session
on
any single line. Researching this, I know you limit the number of
sessions
(session-limit), the idle-time once you are in a session
(session-timeout),
and the time to wait for inputing characters before disconnecting
(exec-timeout). However, IS there a command to limit the time the
session
time limit (can't seem to find one).

Dave
