+ <desc>How to end user sessions after a period of idle, or forcibly.</desc>
+
+</info>
+
+<title>Automatic logout</title>
+ <p>GNOME can optionally force an automatic logout of users after being
+ idle for a certain amount of time. This feature is exposed through
+ GSettings.</p>
+
+ <p>GSettings is an <app>API</app> that allows you to access key/value pairs
+ (e.g.: persistent application settings) without directly talking to the actual
+ <sys>backend</sys> that stores that data (config files, gconf, dconf).</p>
+
+ <p>To configure an end of user sessions after X seconds of idle,
+ key/value pairs need to be changed. Here are four examples explaining
+ how to set your battery or alternating current (AC) values.</p>
+
+<steps>
+<title>Sleep timeout when the computer is on battery:</title>
+ <item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Run the <code>gsettings set
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-battery-timeout=<var>number-of-seconds</var></code>
+ command.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+ <p><var>number-of-seconds</var> is the amount of time in seconds the computer
+ on battery power needs to be inactive before it goes to sleep.
+ A value of 0 means <em>never</em>.</p>
+
+<steps>
+ <title>The type of sleeping that should be performed when the computer is
+ inactive:</title>
+ <item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Run the <code>gsettings set
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-battery-type=<var>interactive</var></code>
+ command.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+ <p>This command sets whether to <var>hibernate</var>, <var>suspend</var> or do nothing when the
+ computer is inactive and on battery. The default settings is <var>suspend</var>.</p>
+
+<steps>
+ <title>Sleep timeout when the computer is on AC:</title>
+ <item><p>Open the terminal.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Run the
<code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-ac-timeout=<var>number-of-seconds</var></code>
+ command.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+ <p>Again, <var>number-of-seconds</var> is the amount of time in seconds the
+ computer on AC power needs to be inactive before it goes to sleep.
+ A value of 0 means <em>never</em>.</p>

+<steps>

+ <item><p>Run the <code>org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.sleep-ac-type=<var>interactive</var></code>
+ command.</p></item>
+</steps>
+
+ <p>This command sets whether to <var>hibernate</var>, <var>suspend</var> or do nothing when inactive
+ and when on AC. The default settings is <var>suspend</var>.</p>
