Timing out a filepro session in bash

[Barry Wiseman]

RHEL 3.0.  For a trade show/kiosk application, my client wants login sessions to 
automatically terminate after 2 minutes idle.  I thought the bash variable TMOUT 
would be my friend.  By setting

	TMOUT=120; export TMOUT

in a profile.d script, this works when I am sitting in the shell.  However, once I 
launch filepro, bash no longer acts as if the session is idle.  I can, for example, 
login and then simply enter

	/appl/fp/runmenu

Bash will now allow me to sit idle at the menu all day, and does not perform the timeout.

Can someone suggest a fix or a better method of timing out idle filepro sessions?
