You haven't told us what version of Asterisk you are using, but you are 
probably using 1.0.x, if it doesn't support that option.

Regardless, that option won't do what you want anyway, since you are 
using agents and not dynamic queue members. The 'persistentagents' 
option in agents.conf could do it, but that's still an ugly way to 
handle it.

Since agents can be logged off using CLI commands or manager interface 
actions, it would be quite simple to write a script to run via a cron 
job late at night to forcibly log off all your agents.
