I am looking for a clever way to reset the idle time on my windows computer. Is this programatically possible without user interaction?

    slloyd:

    If you're using Unix, and your program is running as root, you could use something like this:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
`shutdown -r now`

    I'm certain that there are similar ways to do it on Windows, Mac, etc.
