If no one has already done this, I'll do some experimentation and
report back. However, if someone knows the answers it will save some
work. :-)
Does anyone know what happens to a stay open script application that
has an idle handler when the computer goes to sleep?
1. Is the amount of time remaining before the idle handler is to run
again remembered? (For example, the idle handler has a return of 30
seconds, and the computer goes to sleep 10 seconds into this time. On
awakening, does the system wait 20 seconds to run idle again, or some
other time (such as 30 or 0)?
2. What happens if the script application is in the middle of the
idle handler when the computer goes to sleep? On awakening,
presumably execution resumes where it left off in the idle handler,
and the idle handler return time gets reset at the end of the handler.
Thanks for any insights,
Don
