SSh-agent not dying after vnc viewer exit/logoff/logout/disconnect

[Financial Systems & Economic Analytics]

On my system, I am using xinetd following the vnc mail list example. 

So,
When is the ssh getting call when a vnc session starts?

How to I set up a script or set the ssh session to die after a short 
time (say 60 secs)?


Thank you
Joe
