I am having trouble finding an answer of how I could do this.
Basically what I want is to have a program start automatically when it detects that I am using the computer. So for example say I stop using the computer for a few hours and then come back, it would detect this and then open another program or something.
I am looking for a solution in Ruby/python/objective c/Applescript preferably. But anything would work.
I’d like it to work on Snow Leopard.
Any suggestions would be great!
You can monitor all events in the system using
NSEvent addGlobalMonitor.... Keep track of the time between two successive events, if it’s over a treshold, it means the user was inactive for that time.
