skrommel,

This is a great little program.  I have another small request.  I would like to add another line to the ini file with the purpose indicated below.  I don't know the proper syntax so I have explained its purpose in the fourth line which I called "new item".

cputhreshold=5 is the max load of the CPU.
checkinterval=1 is how often to check tha CPU load.
idleduration=60 is how long the CPU load must be below the threshold
new item = require that any key on the keypad must be touched be touched AFTER the idleduration requirement is fulfilled, but BEFORE the *.exe program is executed.

Thanks,
jdd

jgpaiva,

I walked away from the computer for a few minutes and when I returned, it had executed the program I wanted.  I still cant change the settings by right clicking the tray icon though.

May I ask a follow up question?  The whole purpose of my interest is to invoke IdleRun and run a *.exe instead of the screensaver *.scr file.  Is this what will  IdleRun will do?  I haven't had enough time to test it now that it appears to be semi-functional.

I edited the ini file as shown below to include the the location of the program I want to run at idle.  When I run the script and right click on the tray icon to change the settings, it still opens Notepad with an Windows error message that says "The file name, directory name or volume syntax is incorrect".

Is my syntax correct?

[Action]
program=C:\Program Files\Screen Locker\matrix.exe
message=CPU is idle!
exit=1
[Settings]
cputhreshold=5
checkinterval=1
idleduration=60

Skrommel,

I am was trying to use IdleRun to run an exe when the cpu goes idle.  Is this one of itss intended purposes?

When I run the script and right click on the tray icon to change the settings, it opens Notepad with an Windows error message that says "The file name, directory name or volume syntax is incorrect".

Also, I opened the script to edit it but I can't seem to figure out which linie is used to input the exe file I want to run.  Are you able to help?

I am using Windows XP Pro.

Thanks,
jdd
