Detect if a PC is idle

[PcExpert]

Hi all,

How to detect if PC is idle, so the user is away from the computer and then shut it down after 45 minutes?

Thanks!

Hi,

how do you do it manually? What is your criteria?

So long,

You can check mouse move. If mouse not move 45 minute then close pc.

$Idle = 0
$Old = MouseGetPos()

While 1
    $Get = MouseGetPos()
    If $Get[0] = $Old[0] And $Get[1] = $Old[1] Then
        $Idle += 1
    Else
        $Idle = 0
    EndIf
    If $Idle <> 0 Then
        TrayTip("", "Idle time : " & $Idle & " second.", 1, 16)
    Else
        TrayTip("", "", 0)
    EndIf
    $Old = MouseGetPos()
    Sleep(1000)

If $Idle >= (60 * $Minute) Then Shutdown(1)

@All

Maybe this can help

Func _CheckIdle(ByRef $last_active, $start = 0)
    $struct = DllStructCreate("uint;dword");
    DllStructSetData($struct, 1, DllStructGetSize($struct));
    If $start Then
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct))
        $last_active = DllStructGetData($struct, 2)
        Return $last_active
    Else
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($struct))
        If $last_active <> DllStructGetData($struct, 2) Then
            Local $save = $last_active
            $last_active = DllStructGetData($struct, 2)
            Return $last_active - $save
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_CheckIdle

Just as in this topic:

I would create a screensaver in AutoIt that just had a command to shutdown.

Actually I think if you rename your compiled script to *.scr it will run if you choose it in your screensaver list.

Interesting. It would be fun to take my father's screensaver (Windows Logo that moves around) and after a while just make some crazy shit happen to it...

He'd probably not even notice, though.
