[Serusers] Session-Timers for Prepaid

[Iqbal]

Stuart, doing something similar here, wanted to know your cron setup if
possible, because each user would have a diff disconnect time, depending
on their credit left and destination dialed.

I looked at having variable session timers per user also, but havent had
the time to implement it as yet.
