Hi guys,
I'm trying to make an AFK timer for a computer that will be used to make a user profile within my network. I basically want it so that the computer will restart after a set time, so that if a user walks away or logs off whilst registering it won't lock out the terminal for other users.
Here's my code so far:
I'm hoping to make it so that it'll reset the timer (currently set to 5 for testing) on keystrokes, but currently it's holding the start of the timer until the user presses a key after the second text display.
This is my first foray into parallel processes, and this has me stumped! Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris.

end

local event, arg = os.pullEvent()

sleep(2)
os.reboot()
end
elseif event == "key" then
print("Timer reset!")
AFKtimer = os.startTimer(time)
end
end
end
function register()
-- Introduce the user to the ship's reg process
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,5)
print[[
Hi!
This is just a bit of intro text about the ship, the registration process, and what's about to happen.
It'll be really interesting! (Honest!)

sleep(2)
print("Press any key...")
-- Place in a while loop?
while true do
local event = os.pullEvent()
if event == "key" then
break

--Gather name and pass

splash()
