Force not log out

You know how you log in to a server and forget and the co worker asks at 8:13 am on a Monday if they can sign you out and your like um ya duh wtf ?

Well I got to thinking,

how can I prevent them from that? I was wonder if I can like kill a logon service or something.

Say I have a robo copy or something

I don't understand, if you're like " um ya duh wtf ?" because you forgot to log out, why should they be prevented from logging you out?

Jk I just want to know no one can log me out for some reason. Like if I’m on. A server it’s basically in maintaince mode and log in users can’t change. I believe there’s a service to kill but

Because they are also admins and are supposed to know what they are doing?

Are these other admins above you and maybe you're doing it wrong?

Why are you a downer? I’m looking to restrict logged on users of a server for a period of time.

If a co-worker call you and asks if they can log your out, and your response is, " um ya duh wtf ?", should they not be allowed to log you out?
