You are SSHing to the VistA instance user I presume. I would also guess that
as long as you are actively working on the system, it is not cutting you off.

Have you tried setting up a keep alive from the client end of the SSH
connection?
Once connections are deemed to be disconnected, servers will time out
normally.
I can try to help later in the evening.
