I use synergy to connect the keyboard and mouse on my desktop to my
laptop. However, I have found that synergy keeps my monitors from
shutting off when it is running. I often forget to turn synergy off at
the end of the day, which means my monitors waste energy and bulb life.
I would like to write a script in Python that would check if the
computer had been idle (i.e. no user input) for > 1 hour and if so, shut
down synergy if it is running. I would appreciate pointers in two areas:
* How would I check how long the computer had been idle
* How would I kill a process if I only know the name
Brief references would be fine, I am happy to go digging.
Thanks.
