Summary	0000188: Some sort of 'idle' detection.
Description	Short: Some sort if 'idle' detection From: Daniel von Dincklage <vondincklage@usa.net> Date: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 00:53:36 +0200 Type: Feature State: Unclassified > - An idle-loop that gets called in the master if the driver has nothing > better to do [no input arriving for e.g. .5 sec]. > Could be used to perform resetting of objects or GC while nobody is > looking. Already doable, sorta. ;-) A combination of a master call_out() and something like if( sizeof( filter_array( users(), #'query_idle ) ) ) could probably pull off the desired effect. I can't imagine a mud with regular call_out()'s scheduled ever being completely idle though...daemon objects will certainly keep things awake. Just doing a call_out() every so often should be sufficient, I would think... Maybe an efun giving the time since the last action
