How to read Terminal Services Manager idle time

http://serverfault.com – I opened Terminal Services Manager today on my Win2k3 server and it shows something like this: User State Idle Time Logon Time Jake Active 1 9/20/2012 Silvia Disconnected 3+00:43 From the help docs, idle time: Displays the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last keyboard or mouse input from a session. OK, Jake has been idle for 1 minute, makes sense. But "3+00:43" to me does not compute. What does this mean? How long has Silvia been idle? Bonus question: Why is logon time empty for Silvia? Sure she's disconnected (HowTos)

I want to check, inside a bash script (*), how long the user of a X session has been idle.

The user himself does not have to be using bash, but just X. If the user just moved the mouse, for example, a good answer would be "idle for 0 seconds".

I want to write a script that will show how many minutes the user is idle. Since the last touch of the keyboard and mouse. Example:

#!/bin/bash while true do command_lines... ... sleep 60 echo $var done

Result:

The computer/user is idle for 1 minute.

The computer/user is idle for 2 minute.

...

The computer/user is idle for 5 minute.

...

Can we do that?

Figured I'll ask here before doing a bug report...

Symptom: "w" reports indefinitely increasing idle time for X users since last boot (idle times for text console logins are normal).

Cause: atime on /dev/tty7 that X is on is not getting bumped.

Suspected cuplrit: Xorg

Config: 12.04.1 w/ slim display manager and fvwm window manager via traditional Xsession setup.

I'm running a quite heavy number crunching thing on a few 4 core servers, all running Ubuntu Precise Pangolin LTS 64 bit, in the cloud (so I suppose in a virtualized environment).

To monitor the cpu usage, i wrote a .sh that uses "top -b -n 1" (that is a single run of top, only the first "frame") and merges it with some other data, to write a small report.

However, top always reported 64% idle o

Need help with Python IDLE 13 weeks 1 day ago

I am on fedora 17 with GNOME 3.4.2 and have installed python's IDLE but to get to it I have to run,

Code: idle in terminal every time i want to use it and was wondering if there is anyway I could create an icon that I could search for in the application search bar.

Any help would be appreciated

I'm running several django sites on uwsgi, and I'm attempting to optimise my configuration for memory usage, but the --idle and --die-on-idle flags don't seem to be doing anything.

Each daemon starts off at around 10-12MB and increases to around 30MB once it has served a request, but then stays there even when idle for some time.

I want to setup a number of guests with multiple CPUs (4) and at least 4Gb ram running Ubuntu Linux.
