<h3> Control Time of Connected Session </h3>
<ptext>
<synopsis set-session-timeout session-id new-timeout-value>

<code>set-session-timeout</code> allows the server administrator to
control the amount of time a particular session has before it times
out, directly from the command line.

The <var new-timeout-value> is expressed in seconds, and the special
signal value of <code><b>forever</b></code> indicates that the session
should never timeout (useful when debugging <meta-html> session
manipulation code).

Here is an example of use:
</ptext>
<pre>
root@server# <a href="list-sessions.mhtml">list-sessions</a> -s
Sessions in database [3]:
  SESSION [Meta Scheduler/2498587655903]  (2100 seconds remaining)
  SESSION [BIX-Session/25631364981414]  (3271 seconds remaining)
  SESSION [Online Shopping/25011681853662]  (2119 seconds remaining)

root@server# set-session-timeout 2498587655903 12
Changed Timeout to 12

root@server# list-sessions -s 2498587655903
  SESSION [Meta Scheduler/2498587655903]  (11 seconds remaining)
