I want to be able to automatically terminate ssh connections that are idle for more than 10 minutes.
How do I do this?

Open up terminal, Ctrl-Alt-T. Then:
sudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_configSet (or modify) the following options:
ClientAliveInterval 600
ClientAliveCountMax 0
Save and exit the editor.
- Run
sudo service ssh restart
ClientAliveInterval sets the period after which, if the server sees the client as idle, it will send a "keep alive" request. If it gets no response, the client is disconnected. ClientAliveCountMax is the number of times such a keep alive is requested before disconnection. By setting it to 0, the keepalive is never sent and all clients idle for more than 10 minutes (600 seconds) are disconnected.
