Session Timeout - Best Practice or Gem?

What's the best practice for implementing session timeouts? Or is
there a gem for this functionality? I remember seeing one several
months ago but it appears that it's no longer available.

I wrote a simple cron job that just runs once a day, and expires any
session older than a week.

In an ideal world, any session that is not used in more than N hours
should be considered stale, and require a login. I'm not certain how
to implement this yet.
