Problem: A lot of users at my workplace forget to quit applications.
Possible solution: An applescript that monitors idle applications and
closes them after a set time.
I know how to write a script to do some of that solution, but not all of
it. In particular, if anyone knows how to:
(1) Monitor an application's idle time, or
(2) Stay idle for awhile, then do its idle-checking routine,
I would be very grateful to get any pointers.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Gross
