Subject: Tracking idletimes
Date: 15 Dec 1998 23:27:42 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrn77ds3e.lun.gossamer@tertius.net.au> (raw)
Not quite on-topic but I can't think where else to ask!
I want to put together a daemon to track idletime, the sort of thing
that tells you to get up and stretch every half hour of worktime.
Trouble is, there's no way I can figure out to track "Last keypress in
any virtual terminal" (I don't and can't use X) and finger is reporting
invalid idletimes :(.
If I run a shellscript that calls other programs, the idletime for
that VT gets reset every time the secondary program is activated. It
also seems to like to report Mutt as un-idle even when it is.
Any ideas?
