            clearTimeout(timer2);

            // waiting time in minutes
            var wait=10;

            // alert user one minute before
            timer1=setTimeout("alertUser()", (60000*wait)-1);

            // logout user
            timer2=setTimeout("logout()", 60000*wait);
        }

First argument for setTimeout is a function handle. JS Timing

<script type="text/javascript">
        var timer1, timer2;
        document.onkeypress=resetTimer;
        document.onmousemove=resetTimer;
        function resetTimer()
        {
           document.getElementById('timeoutPopup').style.display='none';
           clearTimeout(timer1);
           clearTimeout(timer2);
                // waiting time in minutes
            var wait=10;

           // alert user one minute before
            timer1=setTimeout(alertUser, (60000*wait)-1);

            // logout user
            timer2=setTimeout(logout, 60000*wait);
        }

        function alertUser()
        {
            document.getElementById('timeoutPopup').style.display='block';
        }

        function logout()
        {
            window.location.href='Logout.aspx';
        }



} </script>

You can achieve this by adding the following code in web config:

 <system.web>
    <sessionState timeout="10"></sessionState>
 </system.web>

Here timeout=10 implies after 10 Minutes, the session will be expired and therefore, automatic logout will be acplished

I think you can use html meta tag for this

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

This will cause your page to refresh after 30 seconds (change time as you need) and while refreshing you can check the session in your server side and can do the logic what you want.
