tracking idletime
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 :(.
I'm using zsh for shell and 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?
