Screensaver trigger (for nodejs)

Trigger a callback when user has not interacted with computer for a period of time, then wait for any interaction.

• under win32, relies on MS Windows GetLastInputTime (through [node winapi] (https://www.npmjs.com/package/winapi) )
• under linux, relies on node-x11

API

var screensaver = require('screensaver-trigger');

// start a screensaver after 10s on inactity

(function stuff(){

  screensaver(10 * 1000, function(){
    console.log("Screensaver start");

  }, function() {
    console.log("Screensaver end");

    stuff(); //do it again !
  })

})();
