No, what those do is send a packet to the client if they have seen one for
a while, but if the client is still running then it will reply and reset
the timer without any interaction from the user.

Basically they if the client crashes, is killed, rebooted or
drops off the net, but not if the client is simply idle but otherwise
ok.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
