I think you might find xautolock quite interesting: <description> Xautolock monitors the user activity on an X Window display. If none is detected within mins minutes, a program is started as specified by the -locker option. Xautolock will typically be used to lock the screen (hence its primary name) but it really doesn't care what program you make it start. </description> cu, danny. > I'm actually looking to automatically unmount a couple of partitions > when I'm away from the keyboard.
