355529 Screen Lock Program

Background:

I play a lot of poker on the internet, when I am having a losing session I often find it hard to quit the games I am playing so generally play worse and lose more. To prevent this happening I have stop loss amount set - this is an amount of money that if I lose I quit the games. The trouble is that sometimes I don't stick to this stop loss which is why I would like a little program created that will do this for me.

My Proposal:

Currently I play poker on two main poker sites ([url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view]). When I am playing I have third party statistics software ([url removed, login to view]) running in the background which collects information from all past hands and stores it in a postgreSQL database. I require a small program that also runs in the background and queries this postgreSQL database every few minutes to see if my stop loss amount has been reached. If it has then the program needs to close the poker software and lock my computer screen for a set amount of time (just freeze it so I can't use the mouse or do anything without rebooting the computer).

Requirements:

-Closes the poker software I have open (needs to work with [url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view] software)

-Locks my computer screen for set amount of time

-Simple GUI in which I can set variables (lock time, stop loss amount)

-Easy to read and update code so can be added onto in future

Small details:

Free trials of the statistics software [url removed, login to view] be downloaded for testing, same with the poker sites. I'm not looking for a program with a fancy GUI just something which is simple and does the job
