You'd have to hook into a program that monitors keyboard and mouse activity, like a screensaver. I know that, for one, XScreenSaver has a mode where you can have it tell you when a certain time of idleness has passed. See the '-watch' option: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man3.html Lucas -- Lucas Bergman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tired of getting duplicate copies of mailing list messages?
