7 <para>The value of the parameter (a decimal integer)
8 represents the number of minutes of inactivity before a connection
9 is considered dead, and it is disconnected. The deadtime only takes
10 effect if the number of open files is zero.</para>
12 <para>This is useful to stop a server's resources being
13 exhausted by a large number of inactive connections.</para>
15 <para>Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature when a
16 connection is broken so in most cases this parameter should be
17 transparent to users.</para>
19 <para>Using this parameter with a timeout of a few minutes
20 is recommended for most systems.</para>
22 <para>A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection
23 should be performed.</para>
26 <value type="default">0</value>
