thanks for your answer,

Interesting idea, I could but in a timer in my py script,so it runs irtoy after, say, 10 minuts. but then i need the posibility to cancel the timer on screensaver off...

can this be done? like firing a second script to cancel the first? im not a programmer.

Maybe the easiest thing would be to create two scripts.

The first script responds to the screensaver off and just creates a file in a temporal folder:

* Script when screensaver is off

Code:

#/bin/sh
touch /tmp/screensaver_off

The second one responds to screensaver on and removes the previous file, waits for 10min and then rechecks the existence of the file before performing anything...

* Script when screensaver is on

Code:

#/bin/sh
rm /tmp/screensaver_off
sleep 10m
if [ -e /tmp/screensaver_off ]; then
# Do whatever you need here
fi

PS: I am just writing that scripts by heart so they might not have the correct syntax! Also I am assuming linux/mac so /bin/sh works and there is a /tmp folder but you can do a similar thing in any scripting language (python, etc.) and in any folder you want.
