Adjusting session idle time via a command-line interface

Connect to a Plesk server via SSH (Linux) / RDP (Windows Server).
Run the command below to update session idle time (on Windows Server, start a command prompt as an Administrator):

Note: Replace 120 with your own value (in minutes).

# plesk db "update misc set val=120 where param='login_timeout'"
Check the current value:

# plesk db "select * from misc where param='login_timeout'"
