Change the idle timeout period in iChat
Authored by: macsolve on Feb 26, '04 11:33:46AM
How come iChat always return 0 as idle time? I have not checked the "don't let others see when I'm idle" checkbox so it can't be that.
tell application "iChat"
	get the idle time
end tell
-- always returns 0

Change the idle timeout period in iChat

Ahh, how do you run this?

If you hit 'Run' in Script Editor you will reset your idle time, so naturally it will always be 0.
I will try this with Clicker, and see if it's different without touching the Mac.

If you want to know what your idle time is, you have to write in Terminal.app:

defaults read com.apple.ichatagent UserIdleTimeout

... it will return your idle time in seconds.
