I am running klipperscreen over VNC but it times out after an hour, I can see how to change it via with GUI but I don't have access to that with klipper installed.

Is there a way I can change this setting over SSH?

    Hi,

    You can set the IdleTimeout parameter in /root/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11 , e.g. IdleTimeout=0

    You'll need to restart VNC Server with sudo systemctl restart vncserver-x11-serviced

    Thanks,

    Jack
