+                    Specifies the time (in seconds) after which to unload the
+                    BitBake server due to inactivity.
+                    Set <filename>BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT</filename> to determine how
+                    long the BitBake server stays resident between invocations.

+                    For example, the following statement in your
+                    <filename>local.conf</filename> file instructs the server
+                    to be unloaded after 20 seconds of inactivity:
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT = "20"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    If you want the server to never be unloaded, set
+                    <filename>BB_SERVER_TIMEOUT</filename> to "-1".
