DONE+ - Jiggle Mouse
Carol Haynes:
A friend has a laptop that has been set up by a stupid systems admin at work so that after 4 pm if the computer is idle it just shuts down.
Unfortunately he has used a policy editor or something similar to enforce this and it is driving her nuts.
What I need is a little tray app the waits until the computer has been idle for a couple of minutes and then simulates jiggling the mouse a bit randonly (say every minute or two) to ensure the computer keeps awake and thinks someone is using it.
It sholdn't do anything when the computer is in use.
I could probably do this with AHK if I had time to sit down and think about it but work is mad at the moment!
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers

I wrote this a long while back for the exact same issue:
--- Code: Autohotkey ---#PersistentSetTimer, Idle_Check, 10000Return Idle_Check:{ MyTime := A_TimeIdle If ( MyTime > 60000 ) { Random, MouseX, 1, 5 Random, MouseY, 1, 5 MouseMove, % MouseX, % MouseY }}Return
