I believe there is, but we have not tested it here. This is from the csh
man page:
> autologout
> If autologout is set to a value greater than 0 (zero), the shell ter-
> minates if a command is not entered within the prescribed number of
> minutes after issuing the shell prompt.
>
> Auto-logout is enabled by default if the shell runs as a login shell
> and if the standard input stream is not a pseudo tty and the DISPLAY
> environment variable is not set. Auto-logout can be disabled by adding
> the following line to your .login or .cshrc file:
>
> set autologout = 0
