Purpose: The script is designed to identify and kill user sessions that have been in a 'sleeping' state
for a specified duration of inactivity (more than @Greater_Then_MinutesSinceLastActivity minutes),
with no active transactions. It is particularly useful for cleaning up orphaned or idle sessions that might
be consuming system resources unnecessarily.
The script also temp logs the details of any killed sessions or errors in a table for audit purposes.

This script is useful for database administrators who need to identify and clean up idle sessions in SQL Server
that may be affecting server performance by holding on to resources unnecessarily.
