System Idle Time

Is there a way in java to find out how much time the system has been idle, and if so, can you show me how?

Maybe "screen saver" is the topic that covers your needs.
You can also globally hook into the events.

How to get system idle time

Hello Sir,
I am Udhaya. I don't know how to capture system idle time using java. Please any one help me how to get system idle time. Any class is available in java to get idle time?
Thank in advance

the moment you ask the system for its idle time that idle time becomes 0, so just returning a constant value of 0 would always yield the correct answer.But when you don't call this constant method the value it would return is wrong. This is the sort of thing that keeps me up at night.Except of course that when you don't call it it doesn't return it and therefore still behaves properly.
Or were you thinking of philosphical problems like "what does a method do when it's not called?"?Actually I was trying to see if I could get the OP to say boo to a goose.

TRACK SYSTEM IDLE TIME

Hii Guys,
I am working on a client server architecture based project named "ATTENDANCE TRACKING SYSTEM".
For this, I need a java program that can run in background(without any interface) and track system idle time on client machine.
The idle time is the time elapsed since last key was pressed or since last time mouse was moved(whichever is later).
So that, i can use the output of that program to track the idle time of the client machine.
I searched a lot, but everywhere i found to use JNI. But i dont know anything yet about JNI.
Please help me out...

Thanxx 4 ur reply Mr. Jschell
But the problem here is that i will have to do it in JAVA, as i have been asked by Wipro Technologies to do it in JAVA.Probably not a good idea to name names.
The requirement is stupid.
And given that the requirement is not negotiable you might want to review the contract/requirements before going further. Because using JNI is not using java. So what makes you think that that doesn't break the contract?

On Internet, i found that doing this task purely in JAVA is not possible and i will have to do it using JNI and C++.
But i dont know how to use JNI and moreover i could not find coding for the same on Internet.
Secondly, i m not aware of the functions in Windows API that can help me out in this regard....
Go to a windows site and ask about what API one would use to monitor idle time. Do NOT mention java. Just ask about the windows API.

Capture system print event and system idle time

Hello,
We are creating a desktop widget using AIR. The widget will be docked to the system tray. What we want to achieve is:
1. When the user invokes Print function at the OS level, from any location/appolication, the AIR widget shall listen to it and show an alert.
2. The widget should be able to detect a predefined system idle time (wherein the user is not interacting with the system as a whole - neither mouse nor keyboard inputs - for a predefined interval), and perform an action based on that.
How shall it be possible to detect the above 2 scenarios in AIR?
Any help in this regards, will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Parag

Scheduled Tasks - System Idle Timer

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, my NIC prevents the system from automatically entering Hibernate (if I disable/unplug it the system sleeps properly). To work around this, I thought I would use a Scheduled Task to run shutdown /h after
x minutes of inactivity (probably an hour).
I set my task's trigger to be an hourly check indefinitely.
I set the action to be shutdown /h
I set the conditions to be:
Start the task only if the computer is idle for: 1 hour (checked)
Wait for idle for: Do not wait
The problem I have found is that the task runs if the computer has been idle for only four minutes as per the Task Idle Conditions states (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383561%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). In my mind I should leave the
computer alone, the hour ticks over and the task is initiated. It should then check to see how long the system has been idle for:
>= 1 hour? Run the task
< 1 hour? Do nothing until the next hour
What seems to be happening is it is checking for an idle state and running the task, even if the computer has only been idle for the minimum four minutes.
Has anyone else found this issue? Are there any ideas on how I can fix this? My next idea is to write a batch file to sleep for an hour and then hibernate and to have the task cancel the batch process when the system is no longer idle. Seems like it could
work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi vdboots. The question is regarding Task Scheduling and the idle timer, not the issues my system has with hibernating automatically.
To answer your query, yes I have disabled all devices from waking the computer. The Microsoft drivers for my NIC for some reason keeps the machine awake. I installed the manufacturer's Windows 7 drivers (of course they didn't release any Windows 8 ones...)
and the machine would sometimes enter hibernation, but mostly would just stay on. The only way I could get the computer to automatically hibernate was to disable the NIC altogether, but that is hardly a solution.
As I said, this question is about why Windows doesn't seem to be waiting for 1 hour idle time before initiating the task. The action of the task is fairly irrelevant, in fact for my testing I just launch cmd and run time /t.

Problem with system Inactivity/Idle time after installing Lion.

Since installing Lion strange things have been happening.
While I was happily editing a text file in TextMate and interacting with the Terminal, my screen saver started. I could only get rid of it by clicking on it, keyboard interaction didn't seem to clear it.
Adium was sending lots of updates to MSN to try and update my friendly name, which was causing issues with MSN sending errors back.
After unlocking 1Password and starting to look for a username/password the application would then lock itself.
I have since disabled my screen saver, which has not appeared again. I have updated the preferences in Adium to not change my status based on system idle time, although the dock icon for it permanently displayed the Idle sign. I have also updated the preferences in 1Password to prevent auto-lock after n minutes.
Since changing these preferences I have not had any problems with the applications, however this isn't ideal. As soon as I revert these changes my problems come back.
Has anyone else had this sort of issue? Does anyone know what might be causing my system to believe that it is idle, when I am clearly interacting with it?

If I delete the existing xml file and set the file path to the desktop, the script works again. However it doesn't work if the applescript is called by another program. This seems to indicate that the XML portion if fine, but that there is some sort of new file permission level control in applescript that wasn't there before that is preventing me from viewing the file. Any further ideas?
Cheers

Safari quits automatically after certain amount of idle time.

I am having a problem with my Safari quiting after a certain amount of system idle time. It could be as little as 5 minutes. I honestly don't know as I really haven't tried to figure out the exact time. Though I've been away as little as 15 minutes to come back and find that Safari as quit.
I do close the last window of Safari, but I've been doing that for years. I've only noticed that it's quitting by the fact that the little "light" at the bottom of the icon is missing. And that it bounces 1 or 2 times when I click on it. As well as the fact that I am not getting notifications, like eBay.
I have to admit that I was playing around with an Apple Script to have it quit Safari automatically after some system idle time. However, I can no longer find that Apple Script or the app. Heck, I can't even remember the name. However, I couldn't get the script correct as it never worked. I was doing this because my mother would leave a lot of windows/tabs open on her Mac and would use 50% plus of the CPU at times, even at "idle". I was doing this in Mt Lion, but once Mavericks came out. Her CPU usage has dropped down to less than 5%
So my questions are... How can I find this Apple Script that I created nearly a year ago? Why all of sudden does it start to work, which is with in the last several days to a week? Could it be something else that's making it quit?
The only thing that was a "huge" change was the addition of Garmin Express app to update my mother's GPS. (Wish that I did it on her Mac) However, this was installed last night.
Oh, there was another thing. I've tried to use this Mac as a target boot disc to a pre-2008 MBP 17', non-unibody. And I also tried to use that same MBP as a target disc on this Mac. Used a firewire 800. This was done about a week ago.
Thank you,
KOT

More important information: This only happens under an account that has the Parental Controls enabled. The main Admin account does not have this problem of Safari quitting out.

100% java way of determining system idle period?

I'm trying to determine if there's a 100% pure java method for determining a systems idle time.
If not, then I'll have to go with a platform specific method.

No such thing. Java doesn't interact with the system except in terms of itself. So it can tell you how much free space is left on the heap but not how much memory the java process is using nor how much free space the system has. And since the idle time is a system rather than a java attribute, java doesn't have it.

System Profile Option: Applications Global Idle Time

Hi to All,
I have been searching for more information about System Profile Option: "Applications Global Idle Time" in ML and Web but havent come across any documentation on this.
Does anyone have incite on this profile and the default parameter.

Unable to capture the Idle time for BSP page

Hi Experts,
I want to capture the Idle time of my BSP page. If that is 5 mins then i have to display the pop up displaying the remaining time.
Please let me know how to capture the IDLE TIME. not the time after the page is loaded.
Any suggestion will be helpful.
Aready checked in SDN but unable to get the solution so posting it.
Thanks in advance.
Sravanthi.V

hi,
After capturing the idle time iam giving the warning popup to user before 5mins of expiry.Now my requirement is if the user clicks on OK button of popup the page should get refresh. i.e.Idle time should of system should break and we have to get one more hour for expiry.
Thanks in advance,

RCA Connection Pool idle Time-Out takes no effect !

My question description goes here.
According to JCA specification, I developed my 'ManagedConnectionImpl' class from the interface 'ManagedConnection'. I realize the 'destroy()' function to send out logout request to the EIS.
Then I deployed the connector in Sun Java System Application Server, I noticed there are two parameters in Connection Pool part, they are:
1. Idle Timeout. It said it's the maximum time that a connection can remain idle in the pool. I assume the connection will be removed after the specific time expired and before it's removed it will call the recallable function, 'destroy()', in my concrete class, 'ManagedConnectionImpl'.
2. Pool Resize Quantity. it said it's number of connections to be removed when pool idle time expired.
I am weird about it. I think EIS had itself session control strategy, if the specific session time-out expired, it will invalidate this session. So I think we will set 'Idle Timeout' in application server to be shorter than the EIS session time-out. If the 'Idle Timeout' in application server expired, it should remove all connections inside otherwise maybe the connection with invalid session will exist! (the background knowledge is our system will return back soap fault when it meets invalid session, so the invalid connections will not be removed by switching on your configuration item, 'On Any Failure')
So I set "inital and minimum pool size" to 8, "maximum pool size" to 32 and "Pool Resize Quantity" to 32. (I expect AS to remove all when pool idle time expired)
After deploying, I send out requests at the first round and wait for the time expired but I can't see the desired logout requests from pool automatically even one. Firstly I guess if my recallable function definition is wrong but when I shut down the Application Server, the desired logout requests are sent out from pool automatically. So I think my recallable function definition is workable.
What's your comments on it?
P.S.
I am using Sun Java System Application Server 8.1.
Thanks in advance!

Whether it's related with the initial and minimum number parameter? Although I found it will not be created during AS start-up and will be created at the first request.
Whether it shall be kept to meet the minimum requirement? I have failed to set it to 0.

SSRS sharepoint integrated report refershes after 60 secs of idle time

Hi All
we have SSRS 2012 report integrated with sharepoint 2013 in which when we click on any toggle item after some idle time of 60 secs then it refreshing complete report .
what we observered.
1. there is no problem when we expand toggle items without idle item.
2. when we open the report ond expand few toggles and keep idle for 60 seconds and try to expand another toggle item then complete report refresh is happening with all toggle items are collapsing.
3. If you keep idle for 60 minutes and if you didnt do any action like expanding toggle items it is not refreshing.
why it is happening how to stop that complete refresh.
Surendra Thota

Hi Surendra_Thota,
According to your description, there is SSRS drilldown report of sharepoint integrated mode, when you expand toggle after 60 seconds idle time, the report will be completely refreshed, and all toggle items are collapsed.
The report session keeps alive by pinging the server periodically for every N-1 second, where N being the timeout of the session set within Reporting Service. In this case, the report session has already expired in one minute and hence whenever we access
the page after one minute, the report will be completely refreshed. To solve the problem, we can increase the report session timeout for Reporting service 2012 in SharePoint integrated mode by following steps:
Browse the SharePoint central administration URL and navigate to Application Management -> Manage service applications (Under Service Applications).
Select the Reporting services service application and click on manage.
Click on System Settings.
Locate the Session Timeout setting. We can change it to 1200.
Click on OK.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

JDBC initialize failed due to long idling time

Hi gurus
Anyone having similar problem and would like to share their solution for the problem stated below.
Normally the integration for IDOC-XI-JDBC scenarios is working fine, but when the R3 halt sending IDOC to XI, the JDBC connection to MS SQL 2000 server failed to process and initialise due to long idling time. Currently the temporary solution is to go to XI change the Integration Directory : Communication Channel for the JDBC - Activate - Clear Cache. Then go to R3, retrigger the IDOC again. And the above problem will be resolved. But after a while (long idling time again), this problem arise once again.

In the JDBC adapter , select option Disconnect From Database after Each message processing.
This will solve the process as your JDBC Database seems to be closing the connection after a particular idle time.

Authorization error in Repository after idle time

Hi all,
I have a problem in ESR where after some idle time I suddenly loose all my authorizations to perform any actions in Repository (sometimes also Directory). I'm even denied the authorization to close objects or the entire ESR altogether.
This happens after I have worked on an object, then leave it for some time (I have yet to find out the exact time). Then when I try to continue working on the object, a window pops up saying "User has no authorization".
Note that I have all necessary roles, and I can perform all the actions when I force-shut the ESR (by killing the ESR-process on OS-level) and log on again. However the objects are locked and I need to remove the lock from the Integration Builder Administration page in order to change the object. This is very annoying!
I have checked the Default Trace when this happens and found that the userID with which I am logged on has for some reason changed to J2EE_GUEST! I am guessing this is the reason I am not allowed to work on the object anymore, as J2EE_GUEST does not have the appropriate authorizations.
The Default Trace shows the following (my real user ID is in this system ERIKEN):
System exception

Why does this happen?
More importantly, how can I fix it?
This happens in different systems, on different releases, but this particular system is PI 7.11 - SP08. Java version is 1.6.0_29.
Appreciate any hints!
Regards,
Kenneth
