I would try:
/etc/idlestop <TERMINALS> &

By the way, if you are using the PD idlestop.c that was posted to the net 
some time ago - I contains a nice litte bug in the user() function.
I looks as it runs perfectly ok - but it won't throw any User out and core dumps
in the /etc directory.
Change the mailer in user() or fix the sendmail Options.
After this I'm very happy with it- no more problems. 
Thanks to manes at MASA.com for this nice little program.
