Auto Logoff script

[pgriffin]

I have a request from a customer to write a script to auot-logoff users after some period of time. (their app doesn't have that option)... I have some ideas for how to do this, but am curious if anyone else has already done this. (and you are willing to share).

A couple of thoughts: Maybe WaitKeyDown, MouseMove, WaitWindowChanged, etc....until the 'timeout' is reached. Maybe consider whether the app in question ever gains focus before the 'timeout'.....Maybe install a heat sensor in the user's seat and wait for it to cool below 98.6.....(of course that would miss Witches, Vampires, etc...)

thanks,

I have.

Using two compiled Macros. The first one opens the app and opens the second macro. The second one runs Marcus's script for detecting mouse activity.

I have info saved to an ini file so I can set the timeout timespan for each individual. When the mouse hasn't been used for the specified period of time, the original app is closed and the second macro closes also. Warning messages (This one requires six of them) pop up so if the user is sitting there the app closing can be stopped.

Hope this is helpful,
Dick

This script will log off if the user is inactive for 5 minutes but before logging off it will display a message for 5 seconds with the option not to log off.
