I lock and unlock my computer with a Griffin AirClick remote, and as I lock the computer, my messenger status changes to away, and as I unlock it, it changes back to available.
Well actually it was a series of apps working together. The locking app was DeskShade, the one for triggering sounds and running applescripts with the Griffin remote was Proxi. Everything else was just applescript. I've since misplaced the applescripts, but they're simple. I hope this helps.
Uhh, it was just me being bored, dude. Not like a total solution for safety. It was supposed to be a solution for me not having a real apple remote, and having an old PPC mini.
