Reconfigure the timeout period for the server, if you
have control of the server. You can do this by putting
a line in the [mysqld] group of the system-wide option
file (e.g., /etc/my.cnf):
[mysqld]
set-variable = wait_timeout=n
Where n is the timeout value.
Or just send a do-nothing statement to the server every once in
a while. Something like "SET @dummy = 1", perhaps.
