Hey everyone - quick question for ya :)
I asked this question a while ago and no one knew of a "legal" way to get this information from the system... so I ask again now that 10.1 is out and about in hopes of an answer :)


Is there a way to get user idle time?..


Something simple I can call every minute or so to keep an accurate idle counter?


If not... are there any private functions that do this? how is the screenSaver figuring this information out?

While playing with top in the Terminal:

0 idle_threa 85.4% 11:42.18

Maybe there's a computing that can be done to get what you need. Not sure though.
