I posting this rather than sending it because this is such a frequently asked
question...

[ Paraprase: My friend gets logged out from an HP-UX session after some
  amount of idle time.]

Let me guess your friend uses csh.  If so, this is documented behavior.
Check the csh manual page for the section on the variable "autologout".
If you don't want to be automatically logged out, then set "autologout"
to zero.

regards,
