I have a problem that the ZAP author may be able to help with.
Basically, I want a utility to check that ALL the processes have
been idle for some specified time then do a user-specified action,
run an image, command file, whatever.��
My justification for this is I want some "thing" to run WSLOCK on
my workstation if I leave it unattended for a given period of time.
Is this possible with a ha�cked ZAP?

ZAP monitors an entire system, but tracks each "owner" independently.
There is no mechanism available to track a group of processes and
then perform some specified action when they are all idle for a
specified period of time.
ZAP does not have the capability to execute procedures or programs
when it notices an idle user. However, it may be possible for it
to create a detached process (with a pre-created input file) to
perform some task.
Currently, there is some investigation ongoing into locking or
detaching processes which become idle. It is hard to say at this
time what the results of that investigation may be...
