The primary goal was to monitor how much use computers around the library receive and I was using the inactivity timer and using a shutdown script to make an entry in a text file. After the computer has been used the inactivity timer restarts PWB and I see the time stamp in the log file. Unfortunately, our ILS does something after 7 minutes of inactivity that makes PWB think it has been used and the count down timer starts. So through the day my log file records all these shutdown- restarts whether it has been used or not. You can see this automatic triggering of the activity detector if you set the home page for PWB to be http://www.google.com or http://www.yahoo.com. As soon as PWB opens, the inactivity count down begins without any user input. If you set the home page for http://www.teamsoftwaresolutions.com the inactivity timer doesn't auto-trigger.

So I am looking for a different way to measure patron user sessions, or a way to stop websites from auto-triggering PWB into think that it is being used. Thanks

What version of PWB v3 are you using including the HTML engine, for example "3.05.0 CEF"?

Setting the following is set in your INI file should prevent the redirected navigation starting the timers.

[Browser]
StartTimersOnMouseKeyboard=True
