Script for executable idle timer

[dunbarx at aol.com]

I had thought that something like the following was what Devin meant early on. I am not sure where all the dialog and other stuff got into the act.


In a button somewhere:





on mouseUp
   set the noAction of this stack to "true"
   checkForInaction
end mouseUp
 
And in the stack script:



on checkForInaction var
   if the noAction of this stack = "true" then put random(999)
      set the noAction of this stack to "true"
   send "checkForInaction" to me in 5 seconds
end checkForInaction


on selectionChanged
   set the noAction of this stack to "false"
end selectionChanged


on mouseUp
      set the noAction of this stack to "false"
end mouseUp


on mouseMove
      set the noAction of this stack to "false"
end mouseMove

Thanks everybody for your input on this.  I guess I was looking for
something a little less interactive from the user.  It is an application
that is part of the user's work flow all day long.  If I need to update the
application, I have found that certain users do not close the application
down and it runs through the night.  If I have to perform maintenance on it
and replace the executable, I am unable to because it is open by a user.

So ideally, if that application had not been "touched" for over an hour, I
would like it to quit on it's own.

Thanks again!
