Script to shut down PC after 30 minutes idle triggered at startup Topic is solved

[SyntaxTerror]

Hello

I adapted a little script to shutdown my PC after 30 minutes of inactivity (no keyboard or mouse action detected with A_TimeIdle), but sometimes when I start my PC, I see the first window saying that it will shut down in 5 minutes (i.e. there have been no mouse/keyboard action detected for 1800000 ms/30 minutes).

I haven't made tests yet, , but I'm thinking of setting A_TimeIdle to 0 (but I don't know if I it will work), or maybe make the script move the mouse a little so it will reset A_TimeIdle.

Is there is a better way to avoid this ?

My script:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance Force
#NoEnv
#Persistent

SetTimer, Arret, 250
return

Arret:
If (A_TimeIdle > 1800000)
MsgBox,, >>                Arrêt automatique (Auto Shutdown)               <<, L'ordinateur va s'éteindre dans 5 minutes. (The computer will shut down in 5 minutes)`n`nCliquer sur OK pour annuler. (Click OK to abort),60
If (A_TimeIdle > 1860000)
MsgBox,, >>                Arrêt automatique               <<, L'ordinateur va s'éteindre dans 4 minutes.`n`nCliquer sur OK pour annuler.,60
If (A_TimeIdle > 1920000)
MsgBox,, >>                Arrêt automatique               <<, L'ordinateur va s'éteindre dans 3 minutes.`n`nCliquer sur OK pour annuler.,60
If (A_TimeIdle > 1980000)
MsgBox,, >>                Arrêt automatique               <<, L'ordinateur va s'éteindre dans 2 minutes.`n`nCliquer sur OK pour annuler.,60
If (A_TimeIdle > 2040000)
MsgBox,, >>                Arrêt automatique               <<, L'ordinateur va s'éteindre dans 1 minute.`n`nCliquer sur OK pour annuler.,60
If (A_TimeIdle > 2100000)
Shutdown, 12
Return

Thank you for your time.

Although I have not tested it, you might want to add a Sleep of 1-2 minutes at the start of the script. I think I would also use A_TimeIdlePhysical to measure the idle time. You don't set AHK's built-in variables; you read them. Try a shutdown flag of 8. Change timer frequency to 60000. I think I would use "Else If", "Between", or "Switch" instead of "If".

I would initially set the timer at say 10 minutes and then reset it it (inside the label) to a higher frequency (although 250 ms is excessive, every 10 seconds for this seems OK)

Sorry for the (very) late reply.

I solved the problem by adding MouseMove 940, 560 at the beginning.
