I just came up with a need for a program, and have not found one available, though I suspect I can leverage off of a screen saver program. However, I have not created a TSR before, and know they can be difficult, so thought I would ask the net if this idea is practical, and how difficult to do with something like Turbo Pascal (version 3 or 5). I need a process that watches for complete PC system processes, video, cpu, keyboard, mouse, modem, etc. I want to be able to set it with a "timeout" value, such that if there is NO activity for some period of time (e.g. 30 minutes) the system will reboot. This is a necessity on a shared system in a remote location, to assure that the system is in a proper mode.
