You can check out my typing/mousing activity monitor written in Tcl/Tk for helping people with RSI to take programmed rest breaks: http://www.omnisterra.com/walker/linux/tm-1.2.tar Here's the core code: proc get_idle {t m d} { upvar $m midle ;# mouse idle time upvar $t tidle ;# typing idle time upvar $d delta_time global now global x global y global xold global yold set then $now set now [clock seconds] set delta_time [expr $now-$then] set f [open {| cat /proc/interrupts}] while {[gets $f line] >= 0} { if [regexp " 12:" $line] { set xold $x set x [lindex $line 1] } elseif [regexp " 1:" $line] { set yold $y set y [lindex $line 1] } } close $f if {$yold == $y} { set tidle [expr $tidle + $delta_time] } else { set tidle 0 } if {$xold == $x} { set midle [expr $midle + $delta_time] } else { set midle 0 } } It basically looks for the mouse interrupt count (12:) and the keyboard interrupt (1:). If you have keyboard or mouse on USB you'll need to look at (5:) instead. "cat /proc/interrupts" returns a list of interrrupt numbers and a running count. If the count hasn't changed since the last poll, then I consider this an idle condition and increment the idle counters by the difference in time between the last polling event and "now". -- Rick Walker -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
