This version is a very basic rewrite of the original extension written by Doug Baron, primarily to work around some crashing problems people were seeing on newer machines and prepare the extension for Copland. To call the idleTime INIT, we've provided a glue script called clock.idleTime. The script is pre-installed in Frontier.root. It returns the number of seconds of inactivity on the system. For example, you could install an agent script that starts a backup after an hour of inactivity.
Any activity resets the idle value to zero.
Things that count are keystrokes, disk insertions, mouse movement or mouse clicks. A sample script is at samples.basicStuff.idleWatcher. There's a DocServer page for clock.idleTime. Internet service provided by Conxion .
