Simple, have the hibernation unit's hydrogen sulfide tank be manually changed. Each tank only holds enough for one leg of the trip. So even if the computer forgets to turn it off, the tank would simply run out and they astronaunts would wake up. For the trip home simply change the tank and be ready to go. It'd run once again, shortly before reaching earth.
That works if the Hydrogen Sulfide gets decays while it is in use. It doesn't work if it is required to actually be removed from the environment.
