You want to push the browser to the login screen after the session timeouts
? without the user making a new request ?

You could set an expiration time period when you send pages to the browser by
setting the Refresh header to a set number of seconds:

CFHEADER NAME="Refresh" VALUE="600"

This would reload the page. Assuming your application.cfm is set to check the
session status and redirect to a logon page, this might accomplish what you are
asking.

Otherwise, as was noted, you can't really change the browser status until the
user makes a new request.
