NBRNTD_IDLE_TIMEOUT option for NetBackup servers

The NBRNTD_IDLE_TIMEOUT option specifies the number of seconds to wait before the Remote Network Transport Service (nbrntd) shuts itself down. The Remote Network Transport Service provides resilient network connections. After it is shut down, NetBackup must restart the service if a new resilient connection for backups or restores is required.
