Enable hobbit to alert about idle systems
Hello All, I am searching for a way to enable hobbit to alert me if a host machine has not been in use by a user for a long period of time (eg, 2 weeks).
Example: I have a system that is on loan to a testing group, the system is idle because they have not used it for 2 weeks. Hobbit alerts me about the idle machine, so I can ask the users if they are done with it, and can take the machine back.
Thanks for any help, -John B

What's the OS on the client and how do you define idle?

Thanks for the response Rob,
The client hosts are a range of different unix flavors, ranging from HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, and Linux.
I would define IDLE as less than an average of 5-10% CPU usage over a period of 2 weeks or more. This also could possibly be measured in whether or not a user has logged on to the machine.
Thanks, -John
