    Hi,
     
    I have a query - Is there any wayout from which we would determine that the linux machine had been idle for some time now, and in the meanwhile, we could start some background process to do some housekeeping jobs - or something of that sort.....
     
    I have the idea how this can be determined in windows - by user32.dll, but what's the equivalent in *nix ..... if anybody know, please do let me know.
     
     
     
     

    With warm regards,
