The following script will do it.
Name the script file "login_killer.command" and add it to the "Login Items" for each user of the machine.
#!/bin/sh
# login_killer.command [seconds]
# Log user out after 'seconds' if specified otherwise in 900 secs.
#
LOL=${1-900}
PID=`/bin/ps -aux | grep 'loginwindow console' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
sleep $LOL
/bin/kill $PID
exit 0
This feature is somewhat unforgiving. Do you really want to terminate logged in users after some arbitrary time as given here. I presume not, and that what you really want is to log out a user if the session has been idle for some period of time.
This is a little more difficult but not impossible to do.
