I want my computer to suspend after 30 min of inactivty, so I wrote the following script:

Code:

#Persistent
SetTimer, CheckShutdown, 60000
return

CheckShutdown:
   if A_TimeIdle > 1800000
   DllCall("powrprof.dll\SetSuspendState","Int",0)
return


This works fine when I only have one active user on the system, but when I run this script under user1 and user2 is the active user, the A_TimeIdle is not resetted, although mouse and keyboard are used (so computer suspends every minute).

I also tried A_TimeIdlePhysical, but this is not resetted with mousemoves, only with keypresses.

I'm running under Vista.

Anyone any clues how to solve this?

A_TimeIdle in manual wrote:
This variable will be blank unless the operating system is Windows 2000, XP, or beyond.


Maybe Vista too? Rolling Eyes

Code:
SetTimer, Check, 60000
Return

Check:
If (A_TimeIdlePhysical > (180 * 1000)) {
   MsgBox, You have been idle for more than 3 minutes.
}


^^Should work, not tested^^

No, it does contain values, and it also works ok with just a single user (or when the user under which the script is running is the active user), the problem is that A_TimeIdle doesnt reset when another user is the active user.

I was able to solve this in a rather dirty way, but it works.

On the main user automatically start autohotkey with the following script:
Code:

#Persistent
SetTimer, CheckShutdown, 300000 ; Check every 5 mins
return

CheckShutdown:
if A_TimeIdle >= 1500000 ; after 25 mins idle time
{
  IfExist, C:\Idle.txt
  {
    FileDelete E:\Idle.txt
    DllCall("powrprof.dll\SetSuspendState","Int",0)
  }
  else
  {
    FileAppend, , E:\Idle.txt
  }
}
else
  FileDelete E:\Idle.txt

return


On all other users automatically start Autohotkey with folowing script:
Code:

#Persistent
SetTimer, CheckShutdown, 240000 ; Check every 4 mins
return

CheckShutdown:
if A_TimeIdle <= 1800000 ; If this user is not idle for 30 mins yet
{
  IfExist, E:\Idle.txt
  {
    FileDelete E:\Idle.txt
  }
}
return
