This mailing list post has code which illustrates how to get the current system idle time from IOKit: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2004/10/27/120354 And the bottom of this page outlines how you could then use that information to build a timer which will trigger after a set amount of idle time has occurred: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?GettingSystemIdleTime Mike _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
