Stand-alone Screensaver With Shutdown?

Shilo Carson · 05-03-2007, 01:06 PM

Anyone have any suggestions for a stand-alone screensaver that will initiate a system shutdown if the machine is idle for a certain period of time?

Ideally, I'd like something that can put a countdown on the screen saver to indicate the machine will shutdown in X minutes if left idle.

I'd like something that runs under X and does not depend on any particular window manager being run.

Thanks

I'll suggest this...

I almost pooched a 10 installation using a screensaver. Eventually I found the issue to be the logs... every second a scr was causing an error (suse scr's afaik are notorious for errors).

So, my advice is don't use em.

Course, I don't use em in xp either...
