[python-win32] Windows Service, user activity and timed message box

[Ferdinand Sousa]

Greetings:

I wanted some help on the following topics:

A] How do I set up a script to run as a service? Are there any prerequisites
for this?

B] How do we check duration since last user activity -- Assuming that the
screen is set to turn off/display a screensaver after a certain duration, I
wouldn't mind checking if this has indeed occurred (I know how to use
win32gui <http://win32gui.html/>.SystemParametersInfo to check if either of
these has occurred). However, I would prefer to check the time elapsed since
last user activity.

C] Timed message box -- Is there anyway I can set a timeout for a message
box, so that if a user does not click some button within 'x' seconds, the
message box closes of its own accord?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Ferdi
