If you want to keep your $idle going for as long as possible, you script everything and perform all your activity through popups. Code: menu channel { Say: say $idle $?="What to say?" WhoIs Me: whois $me } You'll see that your mIRC's $idle time continues to go up, even though your server's idle time is very short. DALnet: #HelpDesk and #m[color:#FF0000]IR[color:#EEEE00]C

But, when you go lunch or something, mirc idle grows, and windows idle do so, like in messenger, that sets you away by default after 5 minutes of inactivity (mouse move or key pressed wherever). So I'd like to get windows idle

I currently use the $idle identifier so try to prevent it from going when i'm around, but getting the idle value from the OS, much like it would use to activate the screensaver, would be perfect for me.
