</blockquote><div> <br>Great idea, thanks! And it's even simpler: the monitor script runs in 30sec intervals anyway, so I just need to check for the magic file and if it exists, delete it and reset the idle counter.<br>
<br>However, my original post wasn't exact enough, I fear: because I had implied that I also need to monitor keypresses from the keyboard, i.e. input NOT going through lirc. That's way I originally had hoped to use Myth's system events. Any other ideas?<br>
