6 <para>The value of the parameter (a decimal integer)
7 represents the number of minutes of inactivity before a connection
8 is considered dead, and it is disconnected. The deadtime only takes
9 effect if the number of open files is zero.</para>
11 <para>This is useful to stop a server's resources being
12 exhausted by a large number of inactive connections.</para>
14 <para>Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature when a
15 connection is broken so in most cases this parameter should be
16 transparent to users.</para>
18 <para>Using this parameter with a timeout of a few minutes
19 is recommended for most systems.</para>
21 <para>A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection
22 should be performed.</para>
