Scenario allows you to run AppleScripts when certain events happen. AppleScripts can be launched on Login, on Logout, when your Mac becomes Idle, no longer is Idle, goes to Sleep or Wakes up or when you hit a special Keystroke.
Unobtrusive
Scenario is conveniently available from the menu bar at the top of your screen. It does however offer an option to be completely hidden, in which case it can still be controlled by double-clicking on its icon in your Applications folder.

Extensive help
Some of the scripts which Scenario can trigger require very special attention to be handled properly. For example, if your Sleep scripts do not respond with a very special message, your Mac could stay awake instead, or refuse to Log out in the case of Log-out scripts.
