    There is any program to check mouse activity?


    Hi mates, I would like to kill a program when mouse is inactive for some time, this will help me avoid to leave a PC with high CPU load if not necessary (they forgot the program opened).
    How can I do it? Thank you a lot

    Hi, the first thing that comes to mind is to write a simple script in Autohotkey (free, well supported).

    This would continually check for mouse movement, and if none in a given time, close your program.

    A starter for 10 is this purely example script with a basic loop and check for mouse movement.
    Anyway to detect if mouse is moved? - Ask for Help - AutoHotkey Community
