Use with ScriptSaver
Authored by: sjonke on Nov 07, '03 03:03:36PM
If you install the ScriptSaver screensaver, you can also use the applescript to trigger the loginwindow at screensaver time (see thread about use with CornerClick for the applescript).

HOWEVER, you'll want to disable 10.3's screensaver/sleep lockout lest you have to enter your password twice, and doing that means losing lockout at sleep. Still it's pretty cool to have, in effect, the login window as your "screensaver". Note that ScriptSaver seems to have a minor incompatibility with 10.3 in that you can't use the browse button to find your script - it will crash System Preferences - instead you'll need to enter the path to your script manually. Once you've entered it correctly it works fine.

Timer Script countdown
Authored by: catodysseus on May 02, '04 12:32:03AM

Wery nice!

But I would like a timer script making the log out after 30 min or so. My setup activates the ScriptSaver screen saver after 5 min and a script start iWannaSleep timer set to run the shell script (and pause iTunes) after 30 min.

Now if someone will help me write a Script doing the countdown I can skip iWannaSleep program, since if i get back to puter within 30 min I'll have to quit the app manually.

When doing the log in from FUS menu I use FUS++ to quit iWannaSleep and get iTunes playng again.
