idle timeout
I've been looking for some sort of utility (without success) that will look at keyboard/mouse activity in X and then run a couple of commands. I don't want to log the current use out (aka: idled daemon), or lock the screen with xscreensaver (already done). I'm actually looking to automatically unmount a couple of partitions when I'm away from the keyboard. Specificly, my zip drive which has an encrypted partition upon which my gnupg, ssh, etc keys are stored. I figure that even if someone snags the zip disk while I'm gone, since the disk's partition is encoded with AES128 bit encryption, they should be fairly safe and removing the disk or unmounting it will also make any email or documents I have saved immediately unaccessable. I figure it's better to be safe than sorry. Ideas on how I might implement this? I'm lost. -- Take it easy, [-] xterm [EMAIL PROTECTED] Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. -- Andrew Tannenbaum

Should I consider this a request? I'm not a debian developer, but packaging this would probably be a good first one starting as a new maintainer, since I'm the upstream. I've done some rewriting since the last time I've released, it's more efficient on most non-us queries, as well as knowing about lacnic and having some restructuring on the configuration. It still needs a man page, and some more work on the config setup. (I just thought of a few ideas on that while I was writing this.) While hinfo does do whois queries (that part of the code started out as a copy of the geektools whois server, but it has diverged significantly), the results are not easy for a computer to parse since the various whois servers aren't consistent. The abuse.net and DNSBL sections of the code are consistent, but it might be better to use them as examples of how to do it rather than calling hinfo from a program. -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html Text is a way we cheat time. -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden

I have problems at the moment due to a failed hard disc in my gateway, and my backup tape drive currently being in another machine which I won't get back for a week plus I'm about to go on holiday. Bad timing huh! Any way, thanks to all who have suggested ways forward. :) Matthew -- Matthew Sackman

Should I consider this a request? Please do! I, for one, find it _very_ useful.

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.
