Idle Time/ Disconnected?

[RageMonkey]

Hi guys.

I want to write a program that monitors the current users status.

If they have been idle for 5 hours with certian applications running then it sends a email to me.

If they are disconnected with app running, then email me.

I have the email and if program is running part sorted

At first i planned on doing this by using Scheduled Tasks. However this seems a little hit and miss and only works when the user is idle, not disconnected.

So does anyone know how to get the Idle time and if they are disconnected or not.

Id really appreciate any help

I don't know if it is useful for you, but my thought was to make a screen saver. After it runs for 5 hours, send the email. This obviously won't do if the user can change their screen saver.

Hi kebo.

I had that thought too.

However trouble is that i doubt this will work when they are disconnected.

What id like to be able to do is read the status from the Terminal Services Manager (control Panel, Administrative tools, Terminal Services Manager) and get from there the State and Idle Time for the current user.

That way i could run my program as a service, have it check these every 10 mins or so and then report back to myself.

I cant seem to find anyway to find these variables though.
Ive went through the GetCurrent and Environment commands but these dont seem to do it.
