Inactivity Reminder

[cainly]

Is there a tool/service that will monitor site inactivity? I have many trackers and don't want to lose any
Something like a simple count down timer with the ability to add different trackers and remind you when the account pruning will begin.
I could program this but I am just swamped with work and no motivation as of yet.

RatioMaster had also coded a tool called TrackerRatio that relied on IE cookies to retrieve account information (keeping it alive in the process), but Moofdev has been down for a long time now. mmmmm probably has a copy!

The TrackerRatio will only work for 1 tracker at a time correct? And besides it doesn't keep track of different trackers with different inactivity times.

No, you can add multiple entries.

here is it, like RM client files, you need to make tracker files which are fairly simple(includes premade ones to use a template).

Anyone with any coding skill that will make like an iGoogle gadget or something?
Im proposing a gadget where you can add your trackers and a inactivity timer countdown value. And it will be ordered by their inactivity time.
And when you click on the link of the tracker in the gadget, it will detect it somehow and reset the timer.

Can't you use a reminder program for this? There are thousands, and I'm sure some of them support postponing tasks for one month.

Could you name a few? That would be very helpful

MiniReminder is what my father uses to avoid forgetting important stuff and birthdays. It doesn't seem to be overly complicated to use.

how about just logging in on a certain day each month?

There's a variety of quirks associated with that method.

In certain setups, the scheduled task can be discarded from the database. This may be a bug in the garbage collector or the assignment of priorities for new events. It's not universal, and the exact details have yet to be found.
Under certain circumstances, the system's perception of time may be altered. The main variables involved are the uptime and recent tasks the CPU has processed, combinations of which can trigger this effect. (Also known as "crap, it's 4am already!?" syndrome.) This can prevent the scheduled task from being executed due to the skipping of large time blocks.
