I have a script that monitors xscreensaver, waits until the screen has 
been blanked (screensaver active) for 5 minutes (15 minutes if frontend 
is playing a recording/video - xscreensaver will only activate when 
recording/video playback is paused).  When screensaver is active for 
defined time, then it shuts down the system, if playback was paused, it 
sets a bookmark before shutting down.
