# This script turns the off power to the layout after
# a specified time has passed with no activity. ('Activity'
# means a change in state of a sensor used as a block
# occupancy detector.) It's a sort of idle timeout for 
# track power. It is intended to be run from the startup 
# menu.
#
# The timeout is set at the top, in minutes.
