Run script after period of inactivity

Question

I'd like to run an apple script after a certain period of inactivity (say 10 minutes). is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

Sample code:
property iRun : 0 -- Global variable (retains latest value between applet executions).
on run
set iRun to 0 -- Clears global variable.
say "Working" -- Optional, your code here.
end run
on idle {}
if (iRun > 0) then -- Do not execute code immediately, instead wait until after delay time.
say "Processing" -- Your code here.
end if
if (iRun = 1) then quit -- Optional code, to quit after processing use code, after a single delay period.
set iRun to 1 -- Needed to guarantee that code is processed after delay period.
return (60 * 10) -- Where '10' indicates 10 minutes.
end idle
