SSH session does not time out - console inactivity log message

[DominicCorbin]

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting the following log messages?  I have three Procurve 3500yl switches on firmware K.16.02.0022m that have started spitting this out about every hour.  They did not exhibit this behavior before Friday for some reason.  I did make minor changes to their configurations, but did not touch the idle timeout or do any file transfers.  I don't see where there is a file transfer in progress either.  One of the switches was just rebooted before beginning to make the log entries.

I appreciate your attention, please let me know if I have not included some piece of info that will assist in resolving this.

Weirdly the issue went away.

Perhaps it was due to making sure that any serial console sessions were explicitly logged out and killing console sessions.  I would swear I tried that and still got the log message later.
