.SH LINUX DESCRIPTION
On Linux, the 
.B pbs_idled 
program monitors an X windows display and communicates the idle time
of the display back to PBS.  If the mouse is moved or a key is
touched, PBS is informed that the vnode is busy.
.br
You should run this program from the system-wide Xsession file, in the
background before the window manager is run.  If this program is run
outside of the Xsession, it will need to be able to make a connection
to the X display.  See the xhost or xauth man pages for a description
of X security.

.SH WINDOWS DESCRIPTION
On Windows, 
.B pbs_idled 
reads its polling interval from a file called
.I idle_poll_time 
which is created by MoM.  The process monitors
keyboard, mouse, and console activity, and updates a file called
.I idle_touch 
when it finds user activity.  The 
.I idle_touch 
file is created by MoM.
