Question

I’m writing a python script which updates the MySql database in diffrent process. In that i want to update the database field (“Status”) when the user locks his system (as “Locked”) or Just before shutdown\Log off process to (“Offline”). I’m not able to find out how to trigger the definition when the system state changes.

Answer 1

You have to monitor the WM_WTSSESSION_CHANGE message for WTS_SESSION_LOGOFF and WTS_SESSION_LOCK.

Details for how to do this in Python can be found at Detect windows logout in Python
