I want to implement a module, whose main task is to check the system
idle time(no keyboard and mouse input) and suspend the whole system(when
the idle time is long enough). But there comes the problem, how to
calculate the system idle time. How can I get the time user has no
operation.
thanks

The the source-code of `top` and review it. Make a user-mode
daemon to watch the system...

"top" is an utility that cames with the Procps package.

But that's probably not what he needs anyway: by idle time he meant "no
keyboard and mouse input". He should take a look at /proc/interrupts IMHO.

Ah, sure! He can give a look on Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt for more
information about it.
