Can't I have SL automatically mark me away without logging me out?

I don't want SL to log me out when I'm afk so I currently have "go away/afk when idle" turned off. But because I don't log off it makes it seem like I'm there 24/7. Is the some way or some item that will automatically mark me away/afk after a certain period of time has passed without logging me out? I don't want something I need to do manually each time I leave for work, I want it to just happen after I've been inactive for 30 minutes or so.

Any ideas?

Having the idle turned on will log you out after 30 mins I think it is. Surely this is long enough if you are AFK more than that then you may as well log off

That's sort of like a bot isn't it? What on earth would you want to stay logged on for while at work? Campers used to do that and we all know how bots gamed the traffic. So what's the reason?

I often stay logged in to test things while I'm working to save rez time and speed up responses (it also helps to catch messages from people that only IM me when they see me online)

I keep SL on while I work because I run an estate and want to be available if my tenants need me. I suspect there are many reasons why people would do this.

You could set yourself as busy with a fitting busy message.
