No, because it's a policy set at the MySQL server.  If the MySQL server 
says it wants you to go away if you haven't sent anything for 8 hours 
(the current default), that's what should happen.  If you don't like the 
policy, change the my.cnf file.

This is not a technical problem.  Using technical workarounds misses the 
point.
