Keep the Admin Console Open

The WAS Admin Console times out in 30 minutes - very inconvenient.

You can use this Jython program to change the time out value or modify the file directly. (this code will not work unless you fix the indention that is meaningful to Jython. I cannot get this blog editor to do indention easily)
