user-inactivity

I am trying to create a Javascript-based inactivity timeout for my site. The function which controls inactivity is very simple; a form value recording the "initial time" is reset concomitantly with any event (the assumption being any event should be indicative of activity): function ResetTimeout() { document.forms.TimeoutForm.initialtime.value = (new Date().getTime()) / 1000; }//This function is called on each event, such as an onclick In a separate function, when new Date().getTime() (that is, the time at this moment) - document.forms.TimeoutForm.initialtime.value (in milliseconds) > 720000

Given that Outlook runs in most offices, and given that a screensaver may user CPU, or network file copies, or virus scans, or network installs by the admin (granted, that usually happens when you're logged out), and all the myriad other things that might occur on a Windows 7 desktop in an office environment, how could I possibly know that a user is idled out, and not just reading a PDF? Do I use a set of metrics to sample at regular intervals and use that to determine "away" or do I need to monitor some file, is there a API that should be exposed? I can't rely on screensavers being active, or

After lot of googling and spending 4 hours I guess this is the best way to find user inactive and lock screen. public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); var timer = new DispatcherTimer { Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10) }; timer.Tick += delegate { timer.Stop(); MessageBox.Show("Logoff trigger"); timer.Start(); }; timer.Start(); InputManager.Current.PostProcessInput += delegate(object s, ProcessInputEventArgs r) { if (r.StagingItem.Input is MouseButtonEventArgs || r.StagingItem.Input is KeyEventArgs) timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10); }; } If your question is, "Is there a better

I want my users to be logged out automatically after X minutes of inactivity. I also want to have all sessions destroyed. How can this be done? How can I check for inactivity then perform a function to log them out??? You could also do: $_SESSION['loginTime'] = time(); On every page, and when the user is trying to navigate and he has been inactive for an twenty minutes you can log him out like this: if($_SESSION['loginTime'] < time()+20*60){ logout(); } I tired Michiels approach and got no where. On investigation I saw that the if statement simply added the expiry period to the current time so

How to detect inactive (idle) user in Windows application? I'd like to shutdown application when there hasn't been any input (keyboard, mouse) from user for certain period of time. James Campbell To track a user's idle time you could hook keyboard and mouse activity. Note, however, that installing a system-wide message hook is a very invasive thing to do and should be avoided if possible, since it will require your hook DLL to be loaded into all processes. Another solution is to use the GetLastInputInfo API function (if your application is running on Win2000 (and up) machines).

I'm looking for a way to detect if the user has been idle for 5 min then do something, and if and when he comes back that thing will stop, for example a timer. This is what i have tried (but this will only detect if form1 has been inactive / not clicked or anything): Public Class Form1 Private Sub form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load 'You should have already set the interval in the designer... Timer1.Start() End Sub Private Sub form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress Timer1.Stop()
