I know it's annoying when you are logged out of your own local system withing a short period of time, right? You can set a custom Session Timeout value for Jenkins so you will not be kicked out of your system frequently. Simple open the following file in editor.
<pre><code class="lang-bash">nano /etc/default/jenkins
</code></pre>
Then do add <code>--sessionTimeout=480</code> after <code>JENKINS_ARGS</code>. So the line will look like the following.
<pre><code class="lang-bash">JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=/var/cache/$NAME/war --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT --sessionTimeout=480"
</code></pre>
Now what? Restart Jenkins service and you are done. :)
